Something in the back of my mind « »
Tan sweater on a tan dirt road:
We went out to look for places to do the photo shoot for the pattern for the sweater I’m wearing in my “author photo” in the book. We have to be a little more creative here in Las Cruces than we did in Mainz. The scenery is just different. No random castles or lush green ivy-covered walls. Las Cruces has its charms. There are tons of interesting sites…we just have to figure out how to use them.
Here’s an image that says a lot about this town:
Some days no matter how much I get done, I just have this feeeeeling that something remains UN done. Something major. Like if someone were to walk in on me sitting here at the computer, I’d be embarrassed because maybe they know what I SHOULD be doing. So I’m a little on guard. It’s a very odd feeling.
I had a big proposal due today and got that done and turned in.
I owed sketches to a friend at a yarn company and got those sent off.
I’m going back through my email with a fine-toothed comb. What IS it?
Maybe the feeling is just that “waiting to hear the verdict” sort of limbo feeling.
OH: A really good thing happened today! I walked into the main office in the department…and the secretary told me I look “skinnier and taller!” This walking to work and my ‘diet’ (in quotes because I *try*) have apparently been working.

oooh, a pattern for the sweater in your author photo? i love that sweater. i can’t wait!
Thanks! This one has been a long time in the making! So…it’s just ready for a summer release
Wow!!! I’m so excited to finally see this pattern! What a fantastic sweater and those boots you have on…..love them!
If I remember right you mentioned the sweater was cascade 220….I’m off to order some now! 
I love that sweater! LC is so cool in its own little way. Have you been to Ruidoso yet? In summer if you need places to shoot and it’s too effing hot in LC, that is a nice spot.
There’s been a clamor for that sweater!
Hi
I have just flicked through your book Fitted Knits which arrived today, and left a review of that as well as some other ‘alternatvie style books I received today. See my blog www.erssie.blogspot.com.
i have a publishing dilemma, would very much like to ask your advice about a book I am working on myself as a sole author,can I contact you off line? It has nothing to do with trying to ask your opinion on the actual patterns, it is more of a philisophical question and contracts! Thanks

I am very excited for this pattern. When I first flipped through the book, I saw this sweater and thought to myself , “Shannon, you’d look GREAT in that sweater!”. Can’t wait!
I cant wait to get my hands on the pattern! LOVE it!!
Beautiful sweater!
Saw the Knitty Gritty show today… you did a fabulous job!
Congrats!
Beautiful sweater!
Just saw your Knitty Gritty episode… great job!
congrats
Perhaps you meant to remind everyone that your episode of Knitty Gritty aired today? Congratulations, you did a great job!
ooh, I can’t wait to get this pattern, Stef! It’s beautiful!
And I just finished a Forecast - I wore it today!
yay! yay! yay!
Can’t wait for this pattern! The sweater rocks- shawl collar, textured stitch… just awesome.
You were GREAT on Knitty Gritty! The sweater was adorable and you made a wonderful presentation. Way to go!
Just wanted to tell you you were fantastic on Knitty Gritty and looked so great. I loved your hair and your own handknit. You seemed very natural and had some great things to say.
I’m joining the bandwagon–I saw you on Knitty Gritty today. You looked great and the pattern was awesome too. (LIke I need another pattern to add to the list.) Its also fun to see the FOs from your book.
i don’t know how you can wear knitted things in LC… I’m in Ruidoso, so no problem here! Is there a place in LC to pick up your book?
awesome! I was just specifically scouring the site to find out about the sweater in the author picture. I squealed with joy when I saw it - can’t wait to get the pattern! YOu mentioned that it should be released in the summer - will that be through the site or somewhere else?
thanks!
Hollyhrome: This will be released on the site, as a downloadable pdf.
whatever happened to the pattern for this sweater…i would make it in a heartbeat - let me go searching…
omg i still LOVE this sweater! Any eta on when we can purchase it?
