looking for a new, short read that you won't find in a magazine or on a blog? like to keep a digital library of prettily organized pdfs, or like to carry around a light and portable array of handy opinions and experiments related to knitting, any one of which might serve as a vade mecum (google word-of-the-day!) for your knitting life?
the NOSHI KNITTING MONOGRAPH SERIES is now up and running, with a wide range of TWO TITLES available for purchase!
hey. we said we'd be moving at our own pace. (and actually, now that i recall the first time lisa and i ever discussed this project i was paging through the oriental trading company halloween catalog with one of her daughters, letting her choose the treats to be handed out at my house that year. and that was last year.) so it took us almost a year, but it's up, and it's begun, and we are pleased. i myself am pleased with each of our representative works, and how different from one another they are. it's a solid, satisfying, and enticing beginning. i'm also excited about other titles in the works, by us, and by others.
our first order came, surprisingly, about 24 hours before the store went live, and we were still testing and uploading. it just snuck through. then, after sending out the offical NOTIFY e-mail to the NOSHI list, our next "first" order came through three minutes later - from new zealand! by morning we had another from what appeared to be a rather posh address in london england (maybe the all look posh), as well as some domestic sales. it was a rather thrilling beginning!
anything else you need to know about the NOSHI series is available on its website. its editors have, as the one who is not me so eloquently put it yesterday, recently graduated from the "balls in the air" metaphor to the "plate spinning" one, but all print orders placed yesterday will be fullfilled by the end of this month, and any between now and the thirtieth will be fulfilled by the fifteenth of next month. thank you to all who ordered. welcome to anyone who is about to, or anyone whom might wish to request our contributors' prospectus.
