It seems I am finally a published author of a real knitting pattern in a real magazine ON PAPER and in WH Smiths and everything!!!! (I am too old to regard web publishing as real publishing.. with the greatest of respect to all the proper bloggers out there).
My Cecily Mitts are in Yarnwise issue 50. This is the magazine previously known as Knit and before that as Yarn Forward. It's been a bit of a saga as the magazine went into liquidation about 2 weeks after I sent in my pattern - I had some notion that this might be on the cards by then but had agreed the contract, and got terribly excited, before I realised how seriously wrong things were. So my parade has been well and truly rained on in this respect up until now.
However, the mag has now been bought by new publishers, totally unrelated to the old ones, and there's a great new team in place (well, the editor actually used to edit it a while ago, before the last owners got into "serious difficulty".... google rock and purl if you want the whole story...)
These are they. I haven't actually seen the mag yet but there should be proper lovely professional photography instead of my photo of my own moley arm...
You can see my pattern and all the other patterns in the new issue on Ravelry
There will also be a full update very soon on my "Queen of Cups" bra size pattern range... first pattern is now available & I'm in the planning stages for the second.
