Hooray for the new Knit Edge Magazine!


The new magazine Knit Edge from Cooperative Press is an electronic delight! Lots of great info, patterns, images and more, and it's oh-so-green!

What's more, publisher Shannon Okey and team were kind enough to review my 2013 Walking Wool Wall Calendar of sheep shots and fiber fun in Issue Two, on page 5. (There's also a print ad in the back, designed by the brilliant Alyson Lee.)

Go and subscribe at Cooperative Press, so you won't miss an issue.

Wishing them all a great launch year, and many thanks for the attention and support!
