Arctic Lace
But wait, there's more!!
Donna also has some exciting stuff coming up this spring! Successful Lace Knitting will be released in May on the Musk Ox & Glaciers Knitting Cruise, where Donna will be teaching along with Lucy Neatby! I don't know about you, but I am totally intrigued by any cruise that is called "Musk Ox & Glaciers"! Here is a summary of the book from the author:
Successful Lace Knitting is, in a way, a sequel to Arctic Lace. It takes the lace knitting techniques of the Oomingmak Musk-Ox Producers' Co-operative knitters to the next level by including gorgeous projects by over 20 contemporary designers including Annie Modesitt, Evelyn Clark, and Cheryl Potter. In addition, the book delves deeper into the techniques used by the co-op and takes you on a whirlwind tour of the world with knitting archaeologist, Dorothy Reade.
That's Not All!
Donna is also having a qiviut giveaway! I fondled some qiviut yarn (the Musk Ox didn't mind) while I was in Alaska a couple of years ago and it is so SO soft. To enter to score 2 balls of laceweight qiviut yarn, sign up for the cruise mailing list here:
I so want the qiviut. I have the book already.

Once we have signed up for the mailing list, do we have to do anything else to enter the drawing for the qiviut?

When I first read it, I thought the title of the book was "Stressful Lace Knitting," which is funny, since I love knitting lace. However, I did have a definitely stressful day, so maybe it was freudian (or something....)

Something like this just might be what I need to inspire me to dust off my knitting needles!

The lace (and book) look lovely!

I love soft yarns! I'd give anything to feel up some qiviut!

Glad you explained what a qiviut was--that was new by me! The book looks lovely, and what fun to do cruises!

I like the style of the writing and the post is easy to read and understand. Will come back and read more in the future.

Hello Drew, how about a picture of your yarn craft room!!!!! Please??!!!! I am in despirate need of a yarn crafting room make over and I have no idea what to do or where to start, all my projects and yarn are in the bags they came home in until I start them. I have been looking and researching room designs but can't find anything anywhere. No one knows how to even give me any help.
