It's book day!

Big day around here! Like Kay, I've bought a pink Gap cord jacket to celebrate and am flying across the Atlantic the day our book is finally in stores. Kinda weird, eh?

[Totally not kidding about the pink cord jacket. Go look at Kay's pics on her blog...that's the one. I saw it on her at TNNA and instantly had to have it.]

To celebrate this momentous day, two new things for you to look at. First, the brand new Big Girl Knits [blog], co-written by my co-author and best friend, Jillian, and me. She'll have to do most of the writing for the next 10 days, though. Sorry, J.

And the Big Girl Knits site is live, too! Go check it out. It's full of little nooks and crannies.

It's hard to be a Big Girl in this anorexic world. Celebrate what you've got -- go snag a "love your B3" button or proclaim your boob, belly or butt-ness, if you're so bold.

And a little request: have you read the book? Did you like our approach to design? Then please post a review on Amazon. We've only heard great stuff from the Big Girls that have read advance copies of the book, but isn't it just the way that our first review came from someone who'd rather wear a big rectangle and hide under it? [Lucky for her, every other plus-size knitting book has her covered.] So if you think waist shaping and showing off your assets are a good thing, we'd love it if you'd say so.

Me? I'm going to make sure I packed my underwear. Ciao!
