It’s Here.
I will never forget the moment I held my first book in my hands.
I went out to collect in my vegetables from the front door and noticed 3 parcels behind the storm door. As I picked them up, I saw the envelope from my publisher and immediately my heart started racing. I left it for a minute to contain my nerves and then opened it up.
And although I had seen the contents 100 times before, there is nothing like seeing it in the flesh, done and dusted. Amazing. I tried to show it to Georgia, but she told me to leave her alone. Ellis told me “oh that’s nice, mama. Now can I play on the iPad?” and Theo was too busy putting all of the dirty clothes and shoes into the bath/pulling a dresser over/dumping out an entire jug of maple syrup/climbing out of the open window to care. Kevin was happy though!!
And while I still need to keep the contents under wraps, how about a sneaky peek at the back cover??
Its out on the 18th of April in the UK (and Oz and NZ, I believe), and later in the year in the US, Finland and Holland.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! It looks adorable and I am going to have to make that little wolf jacket for SOMEONE,,,,how long do you think before I get grandkids?
And as I doubt it will be for sale in Singapore, will you be selling some signed copies? Hint hint?
(Seriously I went into the best book store in the whole city yesterday and the whole craft section is not even one shelf on a bookshelf long….and most of those are origami..sigh….I have more books in my personal collection sitting on my bookshelf in VT)
Oh Congratulations!! How exciting to finally hold it in your hands.
Congratulations – and thank you for the sneak peek of the back, it’s looking very exciting
Congratulations to you! I can’t imagine how satisfying and exciting that must feel. I wish you every success with it,
Kat, how did I miss this! There I was emailing you about dolls hats and your book was out!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyy indeed. Fabulous news
I’m so pleased for you – WELL DONE!
ooh Kat that is so exciting! I’m definitely going to buy a copy even though I’ve never really crocheted things other than granny squares and granny related things, but I feel like I know you because I’ve been reading your blog for so long it is like buying a book a friend has written! Plus, how about that wolf jacket, it is adorable!
So happy for you, I wish you so much success XXXX
Wow – I will keep an eye out for that one. I so want to get back into my knitting and crocheting. I never seem to finish anything. Congratulations!
