What's new for me this season ? . . . . . . .
I am thrilled to announce that I have just completed my first ever published knitting pattern book for 18" dolls
Seasonal Hand Knitted Designs for 18" Dolls
Fall/Winter Volume ~ A five collection series
Deciding to put together a book of my patterns for 18" dolls seemed the next evolutionary step to make from my individual patterns that are currently available in pdf format.
As challenging as it was in getting this together, with much frustration trying to get the word document to accept my format, along with a few computer glitches, I am delighted beyond words with the results, so much so that I have already embarked on the second book in this series, which will feature knitting designs from my spring/summer collection.
In the meantime I wait with great excitement for next week when I will receive my proof copy, once thoroughly checked I then will issue the okay to put into production.

. . . . many more pictures offered in the book
Heartfelt thanks to those of you who have knitted some or all of these designs and thank you to those of you who follow me. . . kindest regards and happy summer, Deb
This looks amazing! :) If I could knit, I would snatch this up. Some of my favorite designs from your work are included. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm sorry I never did a post about the results of the pattern you gave me. I asked a friend to knit it for me and she never finished. It's one of those awkward situations where I should probably ask about it and remind her, but I don't want to make her feel bad. The timing is really bad now because she just recently has surgery. :( I hope you understand.
Have a great week! :)
Thank you . . and no worries, your friend's health is far more important, please pass on my sincere regards for a speedy recovery
DeleteThis is going to be a wonderful book! Many of my favorite patterns of yours are in there! Can't wait to see it in bookstores (will it be available through Amazon?). Congrats on putting this together!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much . . I am about to approve the proof, then in 24 - 48 hours it will go into print, not quite sure if it will then become available immediately since this is my very first time. It will be available via Amazon, however I will be posting about it along with an exclusive offer of signed copies for a limited time, so check back soon . . . thank you once again, Deb
DeleteI absolutely love this book. Had already purchased some of the patterns, but that is just fine. Wanted to mention, though, that on the Pemberton Caplet pattern (which I had previously purchased separately) after casting on and knitting the first row it doesn't mention a row 2, says row 3-5 repeat row 1 three times. On the previously purchased pattern it gives row 1 and then repeat 3 more times (without row numbers). When I started this I went from the book and it was confusing until I looked at the separate pattern. Love all your patterns, though this is the first one I have actually tried to knit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your purchase and finding this oops! . . . try as I might, human errors sometimes occur, I am only too pleased that all was resolved. I have entered the correction on the errata page I formed ~ kind regards Deb
