Just Call Me Last Minute Linda

I just pressed the 'send' button for my design submission for Sanguine Gryphon. The deadline is May 10th and here I am on May 9th scrabbling to get my submission done.

I really have not excuse for the last-minute entry. I gave myself plenty of time to work on the swatch and draw out my sketch. However, I still found myself racing to get things done. I didn't even have time to contemplate the consequences of pressing the 'send' button. I just pressed it and then freaked out.

This is my third of what will hopefully be at least eight submissions this year. My other submissions are not due until later this month, so I have some time to breath and refocus.

So, question to all you knitwear designers out there- How do you keep yourself organized so that you can meet the submission deadlines for various knitting/crochet publications? I would love to share some of your ideas and tips with other aspiring knitwear designers like myself.

Blogs I Like: Knitspot Blog

I  love reading the blogs of other knitters. The current one I'm addicted to is the blog of designer Anne Hanson. She is the woman behind Knitspot. Here blog is the one I turn to when I want to indulge in beautiful pictures of awesome knitwear and great food. She is that woman you wish you lived next door to so you could stop by for tea and knit the afternoon away. When you get a chance, please check out her blog and her store: http://knitspot.com/
