I love publishing day.

Self-indulgent, I know, but amongst my favourite days are the days the new edition of KnitNet goes online.

Today is one of them. Inevitably, I feel humble and grateful that my email box fills with nice messages from readers.

Today's first message was from Gina, who said

Just when I think you can't possibly put out a better issue...you come up with this one! If this doesn't get every knitter out there subscribing, they just aren't paying attention! Great job!!

I've already thanked Gina for the kind words and I'd really like to take some time to bask in the glory. But, in fact, we're well into the development of the December edition, which is all about luxury. I've got a deadline to meet by the end of the day or I won't get much of a weekend.

Sic transit gloria mundi, as my old Latin teacher used to say when he was handing out exam results.

By the way, this entire edition is free to everyone. Go to the Sampler and click "start here" to navigate page by page through the whole edition.
