Mr. FedEx Man came by today and dropped off a package from
Interweave Press. I have been waiting for it. It contained the fingerless mitts I sent them months ago, a check (YAY!), and two copies of the latest issue of
Knitting Traditions, Interweave's new magazine. (I know I have heard of that name before...) But to my surprise, the mitts made the cover! I am so proud! It's a lovely photo (thanks to Joe Coca who always does a fabulous job). It is a wonderful issue, chock full of beautiful designs.
I am working on another design for the next issue, since this magazine happens to be right up my alley...
And I have decided to move my blog. That seems scary, but I want more functionality than I have right now. So for those of you who have subscribed to the blog, you will probably have to re-subscribe. (Sorry!) And for those of you who have bookmarked my blog, you'll have to do that all over again. I hate to cause this upheaval, and I hope it will be worth it in the end. Where am I moving it?
To my website. Not too hard to find! When am I moving? Not sure yet. Most likely this month sometime...
It has been the snowiest winter yet since I moved to Vermont. Here is what I see when I look out my kitchen window:
Almost up to the middle of the window!
I am beginning to get ready for Stitches West. That means packing the suitcase, dumping it out to be sure I packed everything, and packing it all over again, printing handouts, getting bills paid and groceries bought (for my daughter) before I leave. I am looking forward to a fun time there. I hope to see a bunch of you! And, honestly, it will be an awesome break from the Vermont winter being in the California sunshine!

Fabulous! Cudos to you Beth, for having your fingerless mitts on the front cover! I was happy enough to see mine on your website! kathi c.
Thanks Kathi for your comment and for sending me your photos of the mitts. I love how wonderfully those mitts look in a variety of chosen colors.
Wow, they’re beautiful! NOT that I’m surprised. I’ll be eager to get my copy of the magazine. Enjoy that warm California sun (that rings a bell – song from my youth I think).
Thank you Sandra! Yes, that Mamas and Papas song has been ringing in my ears as I get ready for Stitches West. Ahhh, warm sunshine.
I have a friend who works at Interweave! I often think of her when I read your posts, and vice versa.
HI Roxanne!!!! How nice to hear from you! Well, that’s cool you know someone from Interweave. They originally published my book and several designs and artilces over the years… I hope you and Fritz are well. : ) xoxo Beth
Aren’t those the ones you were working on in San Martino? They look familiar
At least the hand part does… I don’t remember that bright and colorful cuff 
Hi Eva! WHat we knitted in San Martino was a variation–we knitted complete mittens. These are some fingerless mitts I devised, using some of the same techniques. So, yes, they are the same and different!
Oh I love those fingerless mittens. I want to buy the magazine just so I can make them. I have never made anything using more than one yarn so am looking forward to the challenge. Nice to see the face of the author.
