Portland's own Larissa and Martin John Brown have a new knitting book out, Knitalong: Celebrating the Tradition of Knitting Together
Super cute cover, huh? Time to get my needles out. After I sew that outfit. The list is growing. . .
Ooh...I love a good knitting book and this one looks fab! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like a fun book. Speaking of books, I just purchased yours yesterday. I can't wait to get started on some projects! I'm a rather new sewer, but my mom's AMAZING at it (she mainly does quilts). I think she's pleased with my newfound interest, and your book seems like a great place to start!

Is his name really Martian? If so, I'm totally stoked.

how rad would that be?? no, I was insane, clearly. it reminds me of when I kept writing "brain" instead of "brian" last year-good lord, take the keyboard away from me!!

Looks like the sort of book to keep everyone busy, busy, busy. Too many projects, nowhere near enough time.

I would be so pleased if you had knitting content on here too!

I want the book just for the cover, but the projects help! Love the Olive's blanket & the bug hat set.

Thanks for sharing this!! I feel like I know every knitting book on Earth, so it is good to have a new one to peruse.

Yep, there are many projects in that book that are on my six-foot long crafty to-do list, too!

Sounds like a great book. I will put it on my book wish list.
Do not worry, my list of to do things just gets longer and longer. I never write it down, it would be to depressing to see all the things i would like to do, but am to busy doing household/children things to get to.

No no no. I do not NEED any new books. How dare you post this new one, with some lovely pictures. Amy, you are such a temptress.

Yeah, great cover. Take care with the stress, your list is too extensive :)

As a frequent stalker of your blog I thought I'd come clean and introduce myself - I tagged you over on my blog if you care to check it out. Love your book!
