text: Hitch: I’ve finished one of my own patterns for Hitch & am hard at work on a second. (After that, I’m going to be focused, design-wise, on book two, at least for the next month or so!)
  
  The patterns coming in from the other designers are simply amazing.
  
  The photoshoot is August 8th in the Chicago area, right before Stitches Midwest. (I’m hoping to work with a local vintage clothing store for clothes for the photoshoot — I’ll keep you guys posted on that too.)
  
  Note…Shannon was heard to say that, if someone asks at the Cooperative Press booth at Stitches, and we have proofs on our iPads, well, people just might get a sneak look at some of the photoshoot pics. Not to be a tease or anything.
  
  KALs: The Wrought Mitts KAL ends in a week! If you’re a speedy knitter, there’s still time….
  
  The next KAL, by vote, will be the Wrought Socks. You guys love your twisted stitches, eh? Me too!
  
  I’m tempted to start a KAL for the Peacock Stole a month into it, and have KALs run for two months each but overlap. Thoughts?
  
  As noted, Cooperative Press has a booth, so I’ll be doing signings, hanging out etc there. I don’t know if we’ll have a set time for signings yet, but you know what? You want me to sign your book, I’m beyond thrilled to do so. Regardless of official times or not.
