wooo i’m published!

eeeeee i’m officially a designer!!!! the first pattern i ever wrote, entwined, was published today in knitty! i still can’t believe it! here are some more shots from our shoot (taken by my awesome guy pete):

and perfect timing too, because i just uploaded my new website design last night! i have plans to fully redesign my entire leethal store, with a new navigation concept, but i realized there’s no way i’m gonna have time for that until next year (holiday crafting season is right around the corner!) so i did a color scheme change, with a new “leethal” font and other minor changes. whaddya think? old site vs new site:

old site design new site design

i’m especially glad that knitty put me such an awesome mood, since i clumsily dropped my laptop bag while leaving work last night and smashed in the power corner, so i can’t plug in the power cord. my little act of clutz cost me 230 bucks for a new outer casing; there goes my new lens savings. but hey, i’m in portland where rent is cheap and life is great and i can afford the repair so i have nothing to complain about!

woooo!

  1. Isn’t Portland AMAZING? I just moved here from Boston and my rent halved! Love the website 🙂 And congrats on getting published! I hope you’ll post any good yarn stores around here. I’m already thinking of going to knitt’n kitten…

    cheers!

  2. Welcome to Portland and Congrats on getting published! I don’t think I’ve seen you on the PDX-Knit-Bloggers group on Yahoo; so if you haven’t joined us yet, please do! Are you going to Oregon Flock and Fiber next weekend? There will be a group of us camped out near the old oak tree (look for a tent-style sign) so come over and introduce yourself!

  4. Hey, my friend is totally going to make entwined because I’m going to make her do it before she talks herself out of it.
    It used size 11needles? Really? It’s not too loose with that gauge?
    Anyhow, I really like your hats in your photo gallery.

  6. thanks for all the nice comments everyone!! yes i do LOVE portland! and i joined that pdx-knit-bloggers group, but haven’t had a chance to really check it out yet. and KathrynGrace, you really must go to knittn kitten!!

    Melissa, yup, size 11 needles are what i use. because it’s knit in garter stitch lengthwise, the way it stretches doesn’t look/feel too loose at all. and it knits up fast! hope your friend knits it and likes it…
