Knit Fix
Author Tour
Lisa Kartus’s “Get Your Knit Fix” Blog Tour kicks off the debut of her new book, Knit Fix: Problem Solving for Knitters (Interweave Press, September 2006), with a chat with The Knitting Fiend, a blogger hailing from Lisa’s hometown of Chicago. Starting Monday, September 4, follow Lisa as she offers solutions to some of your favorite knitting bloggers’ knitting problems and gaffes. She’ll sit down for a virtual visit with a different blogger each day leading up to her appearances in New York at Knitty City (Sept. 16) and the New York Knit-Out and Crochet (Sept. 17). Along the way there will be book giveaways, podcast interviews, lively debates, and plenty of opportunities to laugh at your knitting troubles as you pick up a few new skills.
Do you need a Knit Fix? Send your knitting problems to Lisa! Visit Lisa’s new web site, www.knitmaven.com, for her weekly Knit Fix picked from your submissions. Each week she’ll select one knitting problem and a picture of the unhappy result, and post it with a solution on her web site. Send your submission to her email address: knitmaven@sbcglobal.net. Starting in October, she’ll also broadcast and discuss this weekly knit fix on the popular podcast, Cast-On: A Podcast for Knitters, hosted by Brenda Dayne.
