If you are at all like me, the highlight of your day is when a new knitting or crocheting pattern magazine hits the shelves. It’s like the stitching gods have granted permission to find a new project to begin, which means I can buy more yarn! I eagerly skip past the new products and articles, and go right to the patterns and begin dreaming and planning. Once my breath has become even again, and my heart rate has slowed, I return to the opening pages of the magazine, and leisurely read all the pages I initially passed by; this time I read every work and study all the pictures. The third time through I linger over the ads, making notes about yarns I’ve never seen, or others which are calling me to become part of my stash.
If you are really like me, you wonder how all the elements of the magazine come together to become the highlight of my day! Kirkwood Knittery is pleased to welcome the Editor-in-Chief of Creative Knitting magazine, Kara Gott-Warner, to our shop. She will be joining us on March 15th, from 7-9pm for an informal gathering, bringing along some garments from the current issue of the magazine, including Brooke’s two featured designs. Kara can answer all your questions about what it takes to publish one of the post popular knitting magazines (she can also be persueded to autograph your issue!!). We’ll make our regular Thursday stitch-night table space even larger–plenty of room for everyone to enjoy treats and conversation with Kara while working on your current projects.
