Whee! Unicorn just released its TNNA Top Books list, the list of bestselling books at the industry’s top trade show. Charts Made Simple ranked as #8, after being out for over a year! Now that’s some staying power. :-)
Several other publications from Visionary Authors also made the list, including five of the top ten. Talk about a vote of confidence for self-publishing!
I’m thrilled by the support Unicorn has given to the Visionary Authors, and by the reception our books have received in the marketplace. But truthfully? I’m especially thrilled when I hear that a knitter has actually read my book. For too long, I’d meet up with knitters at teaching gigs and hear them say they’d bought but not yet read Charts Made Simple. Lately, though, I hear comments like, “It’s changed my knitting!” and “Now I seek out patterns with charts.” Ah, that’s so good to hear.

Just ordered a copy - to study during vacation! Kept imaginaging that I'd gotten all I'd need from your excellent classes at DFW Fiberfest in April, but that was just false economy whispering to me. Happy gift to me and CONGRATULATIONS on producing a lasting contribution to knitting knowledge!
