Stump the Chart Wizard

By | January 25, 2011

When most knitting books go on the road, they go in the form of a trunk show: garments featured in the book are packed up, shipped to a yarn shop, and displayed prominently. Knitters get to see and feel the garments, and sometimes try them on. The books get a kick out of all the oohs and aahs.

Charts Made Simple isn’t that kind of book. It doesn’t have any garment patterns. It won’t have any trunk shows. It’s kind of like the kid whose birthday party was canceled because her brother got the chicken pox. (No, I don’t hold a grudge; why do you ask?)

How to console Charts Made Simple over the lack of trunk shows? By combining book signings with a Stump the Chart Wizard challenge.

Saturday, February 5, I’ll be at Fiber Nooks and Crannys from 1-3pm for my very first book signing. C’mon down, and check the book out. Better yet, bring a chart that’s been puzzling you, and see how the concepts in Charts Made Simple clear away the confusion. Let Charts Made Simple prove its mettle.

More book signings are sure to come! The current game plan is to have one at Stitches West, at the Yarn Barn booth at 5pm on Friday, February 18. We can play Stump the Chart Wizard there too. Books will be available at the Yarn Barn, of course, and also at Village Spinning and Weaving and Blue Moon Fiber Arts.
