we are now four in the flickr freeform knit 365 group and members' enthusiasm is self-sustaining. it's obvious how much we each look forward to seeing what the others do that day, and, like flickr's 365 days self-portrait project, we have been instituting voluntary "mini-challenges", and our discussion boards have been popping.
no one in the group feels particularly inclined to recruit more members; we are about as much as we can pay attention to. but we did all agree that the invitation should still be kept open, happily (simply go to the group's page to join.) we all four realize now what a huge committment it is and have gained rather new respect for one another for digging into it, even on days when it is not easy or interesting. it's a balance of discipline and total freedom. in a knitting "world" that is consists almost entirely of user-generated content - particularly online - i find it to be the definition of hardcore.
i believe all of our members have links to their blogs on their personal sets, so feel free to explore!
speaking of raw power, there's nothing in tarot that illustrates it as well as the Aces do. and, as previously reported on the KT blog, we have a holiday offering for sale this year. we're happy to hear that those who got their sets find them gorgeous and inspiring, and we have a few left, so if there's somebody (or four somebodys) for whom you need gifts, or if there's someone who gifts to you who would like a nice hint... how about
A SET OF FOUR SIGNED AND NUMBERED PRINTS featuring the illustration and text from each of the ACE cards in the KNITTING TAROT, signed and numbered by both the artist and author. printed on very heavy art paper (rives BFK grey, not the same grey as the KT card deck), the prints measure approximately 10 by 14.25" (they are bigger than the scanner bed so there is a good bit more margin to the left of each illustration than you are seeing here).
all handset type, all handprinted, these are the same illustrations and texts that will be featured in the book-and-deck set when it is available next year! these prints will be sold ONLY as sets of four. (no singles). since this is such a limited edition (and very few sets remaining), we will NOT be using the STORE for this opportunity. please e-mail us at theknittingtarot at gmail dot com if you are interested in purchasing these prints.
each set of four prints will cost $85, which includes US postage. (please e-mail us if you wish to purchase overseas.)
