knit one, embellish too!

April 14, 2008

Hello friendly blog readers,

I know many of you have already pre-ordered my book through amazon.com. And if you have, THANKS! If you have not done so, I have a request. If you can afford to, please consider buying my book through me. I will autograph the book and include a small skein of recycled sweater wool (50 yds). I am making this request because we are at a critical point money-wise and this may make the difference in between whether I get to keep crafting for my living or have to find a different job. I’m sure shipping will be a couple of bucks, so cost will be $25 for those of you in the US.  We’ll figure out international later.  If you would like to buy the book through me, it would be great if you could let me know by emailing cosyknitsliterally (!at) gmail (dot!) com. I would also appreciate any pre-payment you can make – either through paypal or check in the mail – so that I can get your book off to you right when I get them.

Thank you,
Cosy

p.s. Just to give you all a heads up – many of the book projects will also be sold. The larger projects will be packaged as the knit, plus an autographed book for $150 each. The smaller projects will be the knit, plus an autographed book for $80 each.

p.p.s. The book comes out on the 23rd of May. I’ll have them in the mail as close to that date as I possibly can, scout’s honor.
