Arctic Lace

Donna Druchunas, a fellow teacher of mine who does workshops with the same cruise company as I do (and of SheepToShawl fame) published a gorgeous book called Arctic Lace: Stories and Projects Inspired by Alaska's Native Knitters which is an amazing collection of stories and knit projects.  Now she is releasing the AUDIO version of the same book!  I think that is just about the coolest thing evah! And what an honor that she asked me to participate in her blog tour to promote it.   To get more info on the audio book and learn all about Donna click here:


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:
