Strapping the boys on tight

Before I deal with the title of this post, a little note. Knitty's summer issue is live, with a bullet! I've had fun watching the patterns get queued on Ravelry. Currently, Seascape and Spring Forward are trading first place back and forth. What a blast!

Then there's this: People have been asking where they can get a copy of the Montego Bay Scarf pattern [my design that was published in Interweave Knits last summer]. I believe that issue of the magazine can be ordered directly from Interweave, but of course it's long gone from most LYSs.

So I decided it was time to make the pattern available on my own. I strapped the boys on, got out my magic Macintosh tools of glee and this is the result. You can now find the PDF of the Montego Bay Scarf for sale on my designer page at Ravelry.

eta: um, that is, you *will* be able to find it once I get approved by Casey. I kind of missed that step. :-) I'll write again when it's ready.

You might wonder why I can make a PDF of this one pattern but not of all the back issues of Knitty. Well, that's easy: this pattern is one simple two-page pattern. We're working on an elegant, all-encompassing, automated system for Knitty, and until we've got that in place, manually creating PDFs [which is what I've done for this one pattern] is just impractical.

This is all said just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this important issue. It's one of the big things we're working on this summer.

There are others. What are they? You don't really think I'm going to tell you until they're ready for public consumption, do you? [I'm such a tease, I know.]

More on TNNA later. Oh, and there are just a few spots left for tomorrow night's Yarn Roundtable. If you're quick, you can sneak in!
