I TWEET therefore I am!

Good Morning!

This is just a quickie post to update you on a few things...

1. After much peer pressure, I'm on Twitter! Here's my Tweet Name: @JKnitsYarn. I'm sure you Tweet-a-holics can take it from there :). I will be posting news about J. Knits there first before either on Ravelry or here. If you are on Twitter, be sure to follow us there.

2. Very shortly ALL J. Knits Patterns will be available through our website. There has been a lot of interest from our customers about being able to get the patterns immediately so I'll be working on that in the next week or two. I'll let you know when they are all available for download. Of course you can still get the patterns through your LYS (and I encourage you to buy from them first if you can find the pattern you want) but if not, you can get them as either a download or hard copy from us.

I've got the Spring 2010 line (which comes out in November) just about completed! I've got some surprises for you but you'll just have to wait a bit longer for that info..

HAPPY KNITTING!

New Podcast, New Designs & More!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are having a nice, knitty Summer (or Winter depending on where you’re located J).

First things first – Podcast 6 has been uploaded. Alison was nice enough to return and poddy with me again and it was great to have her back! Alison is a friend and AWESOME knitwear designer. If you listened to the last podcast, you got to know a little about her but I’ll give you a little summary: She’s been published in a lot of places including Knitty, Vogue Knitting Books, Mason-Dixon Knitting, Interweave and a lot of other places I’m sure I’m forgetting right now! She’s so talented and one of the most knowledgeable knitting people I know! You can check out her website (and hopefully buy some designs from her too!) here: http://www.alisongreenwill.com/pages/main.htm I will be knitting her newest design Inara as soon as I can decide on a J. Knits Yarn and a colorway! I love the color she chose for the sample and we have one that’s similar (Newburyport) so I might just use that! Check her site out when you get a chance!

Meet a new little friend of mine:

Don’t be scared! We discuss this little guy in this podcast as my Dyer’s Fun Fact. Listen to learn why part of him is blue!

Here’s a new design that just came out:

It’s our Easy Does It – V Neck Sweater and it uses our new Wash Me – Superchunk Yarn. It’s a quick knit and so very soft…

I have a little bit of news about my designs going forward but I’ll save that for the next post (and I promise to get that to you shortly….).

As Always…

Have Fun & Knit Safely,
Julie
