Nicky's blog

It looks like the second half of 2010 is going to be even more hectic, exciting, and fun than the first half—The recession may be on but knitters are still knitting away.

Busy…busy…busy! The Brooklyn Knitting Guild asked me to speak and have a fashion show at the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza. It’s a beautiful building and a large group of enthusiastic knitters showed up. It was especially nice being there in that, my husband grew up just six blocks from the library and was there all the time throughout his childhood (he was and is a voracious reader).

Hi all,

A friend sent me the link to this article about two friends creating a piece from Knitting On Top of the World: http://scrapbooking.com/article/74137

Beautiful work on the sweater!

Happy knitting,
Nicky

Happy Knitting New Year! Sorry I have not blogged in a while. But my schedule has been non-stop knitting mania. Ten days after we got back from London and Paris we were off to Miami for the 7-day Vogue Knitting Cruise to Mexico.

How fun!

A knitter, Kathleen Rago, sent me this picture with the message "My daughter gave me your Knitting On Top Of The World for Christmas last year and she fell in love with the NW Indian jacket.  I made it for her birthday in March and wanted to share the picture since it was my first color work project."

Hi all,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I want to let you all know that it's not too late to sign up for Mary Taylor's knitathon, kicking off at the start of 2010, based on Knitting on Top of the World.  Just visit her blog here.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

Three additional patterns from my new book, Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch, are now available for free download:

Slouchy Bow Hat
City Lights Beaded Scarf
Boyfriend Scarf

Happy Knitting!
Nicky

I'm so happy to announce that Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch is officially out this month!

And as an extra juicy sneak preview of the book, I'll be giving away 4 free patterns on my site throughout the month.  The first yummy bites are the 3 "Jet Set Travel Tags" from page 114 of the book.

Bonjour…I’m back!...Back from London and Paris. And I didn’t gain any weight, although I ate like the Queen’s Pet Pig!

The Knitting and Stitching Show at the Alexandra Palace in London was fabulous, filled with creativity, and attended by over 40,000 people (many of the knitters and crocheters) over a four-day period. There we hundreds of exhibitors representing the stitching and craft world. One great booth was The Guild Of Machine Knitters Ltd.
