You all are awesome. I had the best time posting that there video, and I think it made everything so much more real. I have to admit that I've personally watched the video probably five times, and I got to relive the moment, over and over, which I wouldn't have been able to do, relying on my crappy memory. I would have been able to say, Hey! I opened my ARC box! It was great! Instead, I got to watch myself get teary and silly and over-the-moon happy.
NEWSFLASH: VIDEO IS A COOL MEDIUM!
Now, I'm back to writing and hanging out and having my days off (yay days off! They are nice! You knew that, too?). But here you go, for viewing pleasure, if you like (click to enlarge):
This is the uncorrected proof — the real thing, looking somewhat different, will be in a bookstore near you on March 23, 2010.
Knitting content in next post, I swear! xoxo
March? We gotta wait till MARCH? can’t we get it by, I dunno, Christmas or something?
I could use a good knitty bit of fluff reading.
I’m really looking forward to reading this. It just begs for a fire, a cozy blanket and a cup of tea to make for a perfect afternoon.
Imagine the following in a really high-pitched voice: AWESOME! 🙂
I can’t wait to read this!! It will be coming out just in time for my convalescence.
That’s my baby sister’s birthday, and now doubly exciting! Can’t wait to read it 🙂 xx
You don’t have to have knitting content…. we, I mean, I live vicariously through you and your many adventures… Doing what we all wish we had done…. write a book, build a house.. or what ever. I’m so glad to see someone actually realize thier dreams. Thanks for sharing!
Look! It’s you! On the cover of a book! That you wrote! That is so deeply, stupendously awesome, there just aren’t enough exclamation points. !!
I’m not usually one to wish time away, but I sure wish it was March so I could read this! Congrats. =)
VERY cool! I can’t wait to read it!
That looks like knitting content to me!
Well, now you’ve arrived. Go watch that video again and soak it in.
*sigh* I got teary too Rachel. I think we should all make videos of when we get the book in our hot little hands to read!
Look at you!!! On the back of a book! I’m so excited for you!

I’ve been a ‘lurker’ for a long time and I am so very happy to emerge from the shadows to say CONGRATS. I knew that you would achieve your dream – I just knew it!!! You are a delight and a really good human being and you deserve the best.
