Knitty’s 2011 spring issue, with a review of the 10 Secrets of the LaidBack Knitters
“In a publishing climate that still wants to crank out knitting books that impossibly serve every need at an impossible pace, this gem of a book takes a deep breath and travels on its own path.” ~ knitty
OK – I’ve been faithfully knitting on my Knit a Year project. Each night, I have a fine time choosing just the right yarn to use for my mood. In my “real” life, I’ve been swamped with teaching and deadlines. Nothing bad, mind you, but it’s prevented me from writing about Knit a Year.
So here we have a compilation of days six through 11.

Barbara Parry’s Teach Yourself Visually Hand-Dyeing is out. Barbara, of Foxfire Fiber & Designs, should be proud of her first book. Congrats!
I’ve seen Barbara’s hand-dyeing up close and personal. As I write this, I’m knitting with her hand-dyed sock yarn. It’s delicious. Believe me, she really knows her stuff.
Hand dyers and spinners will appreciate Barbara’s style, expertise and step-by-step visuals. This one’s a keeper.
