please indulge me just one second --

I was at the library today and found two knitting books with MY DESIGNS in them ... one I knew was coming out, but the other I didn't know they were publishing. For further details, check out my knitting blog.

OK, moment of indulgence over ... now we can go back to our regularly scheduled self-deprecation !

Definitely something to be proud of. How awesome! I've never known a famous knitter before.


Will you autograph my afghan?

Thanks ladies! I've been knitting/designing for almost 40 years now (since I taught myself at 8!) and I've had things published ... including this book for Ecce Homo Press -- but when it's in a book, especially one so widely distributed as these two, well     !

Thanks again for the great comments, here and on the blog .... I knew y'all would understand!

Oh, Mary, this line made me smile. I just had an image of you going into a corner to knit yourself a HAIRSHIRT!

Does that count as self-deprecation for a knitter?
    
All joking aside, many congratulations to you..those are really beautiful designs!

I'm not sure about self-dep for knitters but the first year dh and I were married, I was going to knit him a hair-shirt for halloween but decided just being married to me was penance enough!
