boho baby knits!
Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 9:21PM This snuck up on me - but I am so happy to share:
First of all - what cute little ones on the cover! Oh my goodness. In Kat's bobble soakers... the sweetness is killing me!
Boho Baby Knits is an upcoming book which will be released in November, and it has some truly adorable patterns; I'm really honored to be one of the contributors. Kat Coyle, my friend, is the author of the book - her first - and she did such an amazing job! Kat, to me, has always been a huge inspiration as a designer. (And yup, I'm going to gush for a second Kat... divert your eyes if you must.) When her first skirt came out in Knitty I loved it so much, and to this day I still have big plans to photograph something I knit standing in front of a crazy mural. Her handknits are always stunning and right up my alley - lovely kidsilk lace, fun skirts, funky socks. Kat is a true artist; talented, funny, and very encouraging. When she asked me to be a part of this, her first book, I was so excited and flattered. When the project ideas piled up until I was contributing five patterns (seriously - we couldn't stop brainstorming), I was surprised, flattered, and a wee bit scared. The process of working with Kat was anything but scary - a great mixture of freedom, encouragement, and collaborative ideas with a designer that I truly admire - I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much, Kat!
Contributors to Boho Baby include Julia Trice, Marnie Maclean, Edna Hart, and Beth Abaravich (formerly of The Knitting Freak blog). Their projects are so, so cute: fresh, fun, and original, and Kat's creative eye is evident throughout. I can't wait until the release date gets closer, so everyone can see this book!
