It's time to start celebrating the release of the ultra-adorable Vintage Baby Knits. It will begin to hit stores in the next few weeks and to mark the event author Kristen Rengren is going on tour. The schedule is below and on our master events calendar (click on Upcoming Events at top right).

I bought two copies yesterday at Maryland Sheep & Wool -- one for me, and one for a gift. Looks like a wonderful book. I share Kirsten's love of vintage designs, and it's great that she's done the work to make them more accessible.
