A million little details

22 October 2010

Blog fodder has been a bit sparse lately. Not much knitting. No stash enhancement. No trip to Rhinebeck. sigh

Rather, it’s been nose-to-grindstone, getting Charts Made Simple ready to go to the printer. Hoo boy, does self-publishing entail taking care of a million little details! Especially for a first book: choosing a printer, buying a block of ISBN numbers, getting and testing an EAN barcode, figuring out if a Library of Congress Control Number or Cataloging-in-Publication data is necessary... okay, you get the idea; the list goes on.

Disregarding the dreary details, though, I do have one fun thing to share with y’all:

the cover!

Go ahead, click on it, see the whole thing.

Well, okay, it’s just a draft – the swatch photo needs to be re-knit – but I figure it’s pretty close to the real thing. And after weeks of dreary details, it’s a sight for sore eyes. I’m pretty psyched.
