    Knitting in Public

    (Photo from KnitKnit)

    There's a lot going on for knittters this weekend. In addition to The National Needlework Association (TNNA) convention in Columbus, OH, it is Worldwide Knit in Public Day, which, despite its name, is actually two weekend's worth of public knitting events around th world (6/13-6/14 and 6/20- 6/21).

    I'm likely to be knitting in public at the airport on my way to Columbus for TNNA. At this trade show we are showcasing all of our knitting titles and also introducing our Fall 09 titles to yarn shop owners and others in the industry.  If you can't be there, but are curious, here's the scoop: For Fall 09, we are publishing Reversible Knitting by Lynne Barr, One More Skein by Leigh Radford, and Knitted Socks East and West by Judy Sumner. To see sample interior spreads, click on the book covers at right.

    If you will be at TNNA, you can see all of this in person at the book distributor booths and, if you like, you can meet Kristen Rengren, author of Vintage Baby Knits, and I at our book signings. Here is the schedule:

    Saturday, June 13

    4PM: Melanie Falick signing Weekend Knitting (new paperback edition) at R&M West Coast booth

    4:30PM: Kristen Rengren signing Vintage Baby Knits at Unicorn booth

    Sunday, June 14

    11AM: Kristen signing Vintage Baby Knits at R&M West Coast booth

    11AM: Melanie signing Weekend Knitting at Checkers booth

    2:45: Kristen signing Vintage Baby Knits at Checkers booth

    Yeah I can't wait to see the new titles. I own Seed Stitch Fine Yarn in Salem, MA and we're looking forward to carrying many of them.

    Courtney,
    Thanks.I appreciate your interest. Your website is beautiful. Hopefully, I'll have the chance to visit the store in person one day.

    Reversible knitting and One more Skein are both going on my pre-order list. I also keep hoping for the next Weekend Knitting!

    Carol,
    I'm sure you're going to like RK and OMS very much. Maybe we'll do another WK someday.

    I would love to knit with weekend knitting (oh and one more skein). Beautiful books.
