KnitRed!!!

I am thrilled to tell all of you about this gorgeous new book I am honored to have a design in.  Check out this link to read more about it, plus see a list of participating designs.  It is really WOW!  The design is my "Queen of Hearts" from Vogue Holiday 2012 and I love the photography in this book.  Actually, I love everything about this book!  It is a hard-cover, elegant and full of nice designs, plus is working on raising awareness about women's heart disease.  An amazing combination!  Did I say I love the photography?

Do you want a copy???  I know you do!  So leave a comment telling me you want one.  Be sure you include your email address in your comment.  Blogger does not always do that for you, even if you sign in.  The publisher has kindly given me a copy to share, so one lucky person will get it!  Winner will be selected randomly at midnight and I will post tomorrow to tell you who the lucky winner is!

  32. OMG!! I signed up for your Yahoo group when I fell in love with the 'Veil of Isis' on Ravelry. I was a bit startled to see the book describe you as a 'celebrity designer'. I had no idea you had done all these other designs. I am overwhelmed! The book is beautiful, and the photography - especially your shawl- is amazing. Of course, it took an amazing shawl to make that amazing photo. Please include me in the book 'contest'.

  34. Andrea,
    Wonderful design! Not that I am surprised it would not be...
    I was touched by your 'story'. I cannot imagine a child having to suffer with heart issues let alone any one. A child should be full of life!
    This book is most diffinately going on the shelf.
    Thanks you for bring it to our attention :)
