This past weekend, subscribers to our free Newsletter were treated to a flip book of the lace patterns from our "Fascinating Lace" workshop . I know many people have been looking for these patterns and we promised to have them up on the site. Technical difficulties have delayed our putting them there, so for those of you who haven't subscribed to the Newsletter (did I mention it's free? You never know what goodies will appear in your inbox with this one!) I'm posting a link to the Flip Book, where you can see the designs. The patterns will be available shortly on our website.
If you're planning on knitting any of them, please find us in our Lace KAL on Ravelry. There's no time limits or pressure, just support and camaraderie. I'm forging ahead with the Orenburg Shawl (more on that soon...) but you're welcome to knit any of the many lace patterns in our spectacular Summer Issue. See you there!

The Summer of Lace
I can't wait to start knitting this shawl. I've always been fascinated with Orenburg lace, but never gotten up the gumption to knit anything. Finally, a perfect Lace storm seems to be brewing around me: the structure is unlike anything I've knit before, the charts are daunting, the yarn, Filatura di Crosa Superior, is exquisite. I'll be documenting my adventure with this lovely pattern in this space and sharing ongoing comments in the LACE KAL in the Verena Group on Ravelry. I hope some of you will join me in knitting this wonderful pattern, or any of the other lace patterns from Verena.
I know that many of you have been looking for the patterns featured in our Fascinating Lace Workshop. They will be available in the Subscriber Bonus area on our website by this weekend.

Knitting Along
Well the new site is finally up and running! We're still blocking out a few kinks and expect everything to be beautifully draped and fitting properly in the very near future.
Val is currently at work editing the patterns for the fall issue and I'm beginning to ease into more regular blogging. I've been kept quite busy by new site housekeeping and as a result I've neglected the blog.
I wanted to let everyone know about our partnership with Planet Purl. They have a wonderful site with extensive information about local yarn stores, book reviews, travel blogs by and for knitters and much more. If you like knit alongs you'll be interested to know that they host a fine selection. We have arranged for them to host several projects from our Summer 09 issue. The projects range in both size and level of difficulty, so we hope everyone who wants to knit along will find something they want to knit. If there isn't one for a project you're working on and you'd like to start one you can do that too!
If you're planning a trip to NYC or it's environs over Columbus Day Weekend, Friday October 9th through Monday October 12th, you'll be interested in the NYC Yarn Crawl.
This is a self-guided tour for knitters, crocheters and other fiber artists to the city’s premier yarn shops. With special demonstrations, exhibits, sales and promotions, the crawl promises to be 4 days of shopping, discovery and urban exploration for both local and out-of-town knitters. Six big baskets will be raffled off during the course of the event. Participating stores will be collecting entries from their visitors, the more stores you visit the more chances you have to win! Click here for more information.
And for those of you following the exploits of the Yarnstormers, they're at it again. This time they've woven a web of woe. That's the most adorable hungry spider I've ever seen!
