Newsstand Day for IK Felt is Here!
The yarn shops in my area have had the 2008 edition of IK Felt available for almost two weeks now. But, today is the official newsstand date so the magazine should be found at most bookstores that carry Interweave Knits and Spin Off for those without a nearby LYS. Last year this special issue sold out quite quickly.
As I had posted earlier, I have a pattern in this issue. On page 20 is the Mitered Diamond Bag. In looking through my copy of the magazine it came to my attention that there is a small error that was introduced during the editing process. It is minor and some may or may not notice it. The fifth line down on page 22 is the start of a sentence that should not be there - “Seam all corresponding edges tog - A edge to A edge, G edge to G edge, and so on.” The bag is constructed in such a way to minimize seaming and there are only two short seams to complete which were in the instructions prior to this extra sentence. Felt staff have had this brought to their attention and there should be an official errata posted on the page for this issue soon.
If you are in northern Colorado I will be teaching two sessions of classes at My Sister Knits in Fort Collins. The weekend class starts this Saturday, September 13th. There will be a second weekday session in later October. Sign ups for both sessions are currently open. Please call My Sister Knits at at (970) 407-1461 to reserve your space. Once the issue is sold out, due to contractual agreements, I will be unable to teach the class again until this time next year, so don’t put off signing up or you could wait a long time. For more info on my classes at any time, check out the Fiber Arts Classes link in the upper right of any blog page. There is also a mailing list that sends out reminders usually no more than once a month.
