Ask Kristin A Question – Deadline April 7, 2008

My friends over at Nashua Handknits / Westminster Fibers are going to publish a full-fledged magazine this coming fall. It will be full of beautiful sweater designs and some special features. They are going to feature a few pages with my designs and an article about me. Rather fun and exciting.

So here’s the catch. Nashua would like my blog readers and fans of my knitwear design to help them with the article. They are asking you to send them questions for me to answer which you would find interesting. The questions can be about anything – my knitting, our farm, my art, our sheep…. Whatever you can think of that would be appropriate for publication and that you would find fun. They won’t have room for all the questions so don’t be disappointed if your isn’t chosen. The readers who submit the questions that are chosen will receive a thank-you gift. So think hard and send your “Kristin Questions” to:

Susan.MILLS@westminsterfibers.com


Or directly to me at kn@kristinnicholas.com

and I will forward them to Nashua. Thanks so much for your help.


The crocheted granny square afghan above is something I have been working on since last summer. I thought it would be fun to share the progress of it. I think it really looks fantastic. I used no rhyme nor reason to the colors - I am just using up lots of odd bits of Julia leftover from various projects. I did unify the whole thing by using the lovely Espresso Brown Julia as the outer edge of each square. I have been wanting to make one of these for several years and so it's fun that I am actually getting to it. It is made of 64 squares but I hope to add more to make it even larger.

Inspiration

Hello, My name is Ana Maria, Thanks for the invitation. I must say that even the cover of Kristin Knits is an inspiration. I don't remember how I found her site, but I at my age I have become a loyal reader.
I was so anxious to start that I designed these fingerless gloves before before I could dig into Kristin Knits . I purchased my autographed copy from Kristin. The first project I started was the flower fingerless gloves and I am looking forward to finishing them.
