It was touch and go for a while there but my book 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitter’s Directory is in stock and ready to sign, tomorrow at 12 Noon, Booth 34-35 at VOGUE KNITTING LIVE LA!!!!!!!!!! Yay!
Special thanks to the folks at Knitting With Sandra, who made a late night delivery to make it possible.
Congratulations! I’ve been looking forward to your book since I saw the first mention.
I’m so glad that your book is ready, and just in time for shortening days and winter knitting. Congrats!
ohhhh congrats!! I can’t wait to get one.
Brilliant! Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy! Congrats!
Piles of swatches, heaps of hours, gobs of yarn, and scads of charts – you’ve worked so hard and we’re grateful. C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s .
OH!! Congratulations on the book!
Hurray! Happy Signing!!
I’m still terrified of Fair Isle, but I’m still psyched to buy your book! 🙂
MJ, I can’t wait to see this book.mary in Cincinnati
Yay! Mine is on its way… can’t wait. Big congratulations!
What a lovely book!
But when I looked to the amazon website to see if I can buy it, I discoverd that there are two similar looking books…
“200 fair isle motifs” and “200 fair isle designs”, both due to appear mid/end November.
I’m confused, are they different or the same with different covers?
I would love to know before I place an order.
Best regards,

Ok…so who knew how complex book distribution is.The books I got in LA were culled and “drop shipped” the the great folks at the LYS Knitting With Sandra…they were the only ones and sold out immediately. The rest of the books were sent from Hong Kong to Interweave in Colorado by container.
When IK gets them, they fullfil their online orders, the orders to LYS across the country and the orders to their distributors at the same time. Some distributors take longer than others, hence the late date that Amazon gives on the website. The later date also reflects how far you are from the point of distribution. For example, LYS closer to Loveland Colorado will get their copies first, and if you live in the State of Maine like I do, it will take longer for your LYS to get the books.
So in future, I will know to tell people: to order from INTERWEAVE if they want to get the books ASAP…and they will have to wait to get a discount from Amazon…which reflects as a discount to the royalty as well….who knew?
Regarding the two titles to the book, Motifs is the US title, Designs is the UK title.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
