Greetings from Knit Cafe is on Amazon.com!  I am so, so proud to have been a part of this book- in addition to being lucky enough to have four patterns inside, I was also a witness (hopefully a supportive one!) to much of the hard work that Suzan has put into the creation of the book over this last year.  I think she did a wonderful job of pouring her fun, chic aesthetic onto every page.  Some little things I love about the book (without giving anything away): 

1. At the photo shoot?  Even the lone guy learned how to knit.  On cashmere, actually- he said that he wasn't sure if he would like knitting, and if he was only going to make one thing, he wanted it to be nice.
2. Every designer and every model is a part of the Knit Cafe family- customers, staff members, friends, family.  Which is the way to go, I think.  Across the board, we all were thrilled to bits that Suzan was writing a book... and then to get to be involved ourselves was just the coolest, period.  Period.
3. Getting to collaborate on my designs with Suzan, and being a witness to the process of other designers as well, was an amazing learning experience.  Sometimes everything was fine and I was given the go-ahead on the first submission, and sometimes it took months of swatching before we had a great marriage of colors, yarn, and stitch pattern before I could even begin to write a pattern or knit the garment.  Rather than being frustrating, it was a great lesson in not settling for something less than exactly what you want.
4. The store wallpaper on the cover makes me very, very happy. 
5. Knit Cafe really is a warm, special place, and it shows.

There are so many patterns in there that I want to knit... geez, I wish I could say what they were!  All in good time, my pretties, I suppose.  For now, I'm just going to geek out on Amazon.com and search for the book again, just to make sure it is still there.
