It even had a few sewing techniques I wasn’t familiar with! A perfect book for the sewist in your life and very suitable for beginners as well. I would have liked a few more illustrations for some of the techniques but the instruction sections are very clear. 2/2

Book 87 for 2025: The Magic of Pockets: A Feminist's Guide to Adding Pockets to Clothing That Really Should Have Pockets to Begin With by Jess Driscoll. This is a delightful little book with some fashion history & some down to earth techniques on making pockets. 1/2

To be clear, this is directly relevant to publishing in Canada. And it is the only way to publish as a startup press that doesn't qualify for grants and won't for a long time. Also, IT. IS. GOOD. BUSINESS. Which is something that seems decidedly lacking in what we assume about our culture sector.
This is the way.

Getting a late start to my Monday because I had to get these very publishing, very Canadian, ideas out of my head OH MY GOD.

Let's talk about Heated Rivalry, yeah? Because this is a PUBLISHING. STORY. It's a story about a Canadian author writing a wildly successful romance novel, having that novel optioned by a Canadian director who loves the story & characters, respects the genre, and involved the author throughout. AND

There is a new book on my shelf:"Math for Knitters" by Kate Atherley! Thisis an incredibly special purchase. Kate was a student of mine in a mathcourse at Oakville Trafalgar High School backin the 1980s. I havefollowed her inspiring journey from the software industry to becoming aninternationally recognizedauthor, speaker, and consultant in the worldof knitting. I received a wonderful note from Kate recently that really speaks to the hidden power of mathematics: "Ihave a B. Math... from University of Waterloo, and partially thanks tothat I’m now working what can only bedescribed as a dream job: I’m aknitwear designer, an author of books about knitting, and a recognizedauthority... There’s more math in that than there ever was in my 15years in the software industry. Thank you forhelping me discover mylove of the world of numbers." Kate'sbook dedication mentions her parents worried her math degree wouldn'tbe put to good use. That was...

Y'all, there IS something about this book. The author IS very, very good at math and at explaining stuff. Also it's a topic every knitter knows they can learn more about and there isn't really another book that covers the basics like this.
@kateatherley.bsky.social @kpwerker.bsky.social Finally picked up my copy of Math for Knitters this week. The clerk at my small-town indie bookstore said he'd sold 3 that day alone. "What is it about this book?"
I told him Kate is very, very good at math & at explaining stuff.

Insights into the world of indie publishing. And an explanation while I'll be forever grateful to @kpwerker.bsky.social & @ninetenpub.bsky.social. I was part of the company at its founding, but it's solely in Kim's hands now. I'm grateful for her incredible support & hard work in difficult times. ❤️
Lemme give you a little bit of a picture of my September. I had broken my foot in mid-August days after listing this book for pre-order. Having my lower leg immobilized had led to a blood clot; I was uncomfortable and stressed out and it had been many months since I'd been able to take a holiday. 1/

So many great questions... This one is aimed at knitters rather than designers, but am getting the sense there might be an interest in a more advanced book, that covers grading? ... Should I?

Folks, MATH FOR KNITTERS is listed as a pre-order at @microcosm.bsky.social because the reprint is making its way to their warehouses. They sold out of the first batch of books I sent them. A good challenge to face, and more books are on the move as I type this. Thanks for your patience!
