It's hard to gain speed when knitting socks on double-pointed needles. Just when you gather momentum, you reach the end of your needle and have to start all over again.

Here Kitty Kitty

To be honest, this never bothered me until I got my hands on Cat Bordi's book, "Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles." For a small book, it certainly packs a wallop. Read on to learn more.

Book It!

I received several emails this week from readers wanting to know about the more general, knitting-related writing world.

Knitting magazines may only assign one or two non-pattern-specific articles per issue, and competition is steep. Why not explore the book publishing market instead? I'll show you how.

In the Forums

Ever wonder if you might be standing behind another Knitter's Review reader in the supermarket without knowing it? I've expanded the "Profile" area so you can include more specifics about where you live.

Once you do this, you can then click on the new "Members" link in the upper right-hand corner and easily spot others who live nearby.

March Winner Announced Next Week

Next week I'll reveal the winner of this month's subscriber giveaway. The prize is a masterful knitting kit consisting of: Sweater 101, Finishing 101, Janice MacDaniel's Unpattern Patterns, and The Sweater Wizard, all generously provided by Patternworks.com. Just stay subscribed and you could be the winner.

Happy knitting, and I'll see you in the forums!

Sincerely,
