Introducing Knotions Magazine!

introducing knotions!

I'm so excited to finally be able to share this with you all! As many of you have commented or emailed me about, I've been a bit quiet for the past 6 weeks or so. That's because I've been busy developing knotionsmag.com, a new online knitting magazine.

This has been a real labor of love and I couldn't have done it without the input and support of so many friends: Christy, Jessica, Kathy, Kelly, Kristy, Liz and Michelle. Thank you ladies for your smart, thorough feedback and encouraging words -- Knotions is better because of each of you.

I have so many plans for knotions, and I'd love your input as well. Stop by the site and fill out the reader survey. This is also the first official call for submissions, so if you're a designer (newbie or established), take a look at the submissions guidelines. The first issue publishes in August, and the first article series comes out in April.

Looking forward to hearing what you all think!
