Designing Book Signing

July 27, 2010 by Mary Jane 5 Comments

When I hear that Ellen is having an event at her perfect yarn shop, Purl Diva in Brunswick, Maine, I drop everything. Despite my current hectic schedule, I grabbed my friend Jane, hopped in the car and zipped on down. This time there was a convergence of designers and knitters, all of us fans of the designing duo behind the great new book New England Knits: Timeless Knitwear with a Modern Twist, Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre. What fun to meet them, admire and even try on some of the great garments from their book. So many beautiful knits! I was dying over the Chelsea Skirt with secret lace trim and almost hoping for cold weather when I tried on the comforting and cute Portland Mittens.

A further bonus was meeting Carrie Bostick Hoge, talented designer, photographer and one of the geniuses behind the fabulous new yarn company Quince & Co. Suffice to say much gushing ensued.

I can’t wait to meet up with them again.

If Cecily and Melissa  come to your neck of the woods for a book signing, be sure and give them a visit.

I’ve been wild, with plans to head to Scotland on Friday, first stop Shetland! Yay! Dream come true on the way!
