Author sighting!

Susie and her sweet daughter/ photographer...

I went to Susie's book signing for Itty Bitty Nursery on Saturday at Lakeside Fibers - she is so darn nice. She wrote wonderful things on her blog about me and I am blushing, she gives me way more credit that I deserve - but thank you! I really like the Pay-It-Forwardness, Susie wrote that she was inspired to blog by me (imagine?!), and then Jill from Knitterella commented over at Susie's that she was inspired to blog by her - love that. You knitters are amazing.

This book holds a special spot in my heart because I was able to see the unbound mock-up in Spring when Susie and I met up at Lakeside for some knitting and talking - lots of talking, little knitting actually - so I kind of feel like I have gotten to peek at this gorgeous book from creative "gestation" to it's birth - and now the debutante party. I was especially looking forward to meeting Grumpy Old Bear, my gosh, he is a sweet thing in person!

I don't have many babies to knit for right now, but I just love the sweetness that nearly oozes from this book, it almost hurts my teeth it's so...sugar. One can't help the involuntary "awww" as you page through each darling design, one cuter than the next. This book perfectly compliments Itty Bitty Hats - more itty bitty - sweaters, hats, toys - decadence for baby. If you are so blessed to have a yummy, sweet-headed baby in your life, go get one:)
