My Work Week


This past week or so.. I've been literally surrounded by stacks...




and stacks... 




and stacks....




And some more stacks...



....which would have been so completely daunting and overwhelming if it wasn't for the help of our wonderful family and friends who tirelessly helped us get all of these copies of Coastal Knits packaged and out in the mail to all of you! 

Thanks to all of their help, we were able to get completely up to date with orders as of the end of last week. As a big, tired, very pregnant lady.. I am so grateful to each and every one of them!




Whoever might think that mailing out piles of books around the world is easy... well.. its no small feat let me tell you! Never did I imagine how many books would have to be shipped out thus far. I am amazed.. truly.

Thanks to your unbelievable support of Coastal Knits, I am happy to announce that less than two weeks after the book shipment was delivered, we are already into our second print run! 

Can you believe it? I can't. 

Thank you everyone!

    I was introduced to your podcast, book, and blog through the knitmore girls. My copy of Coastal Knits came this weekend, and it is a beautiful book. Please tell me you are already working on a second book!

    I have been meaning to write and thank you... for Nevernotknitting podcasting, for interviewing Hannah, and for co-authoring Coastal Knits! It is such a stupendously gorgeous book!!! I hope you are going to set a standard for others to follow!

    Mostly though, I want to thank you and the team that packed and mailed the book to me. In your wisdom, you did a double envelope pack which saved my book from water damage. It arrived on a very wet and windy day, and the postman left it on my steps, vulnerable to the elements. Luckily, no damage was done, but I did open the package holding my breath!

    Good luck and get some rest big momma!

    I got my book and it's lovely!!!! Thank you so much. I was delighted to see it in my mailbox and even more excited to see it opened up.

    I don't know which project to start first,, but i think I picked the rocky coast cardigan

    No wonder my book arrived so quickly! (And I'd also like to thank you for the double-packaging; even with the Fragile: Do Not Bend or Crush Corners stickers on front and back, mine was folded in half, and all four corners crushed. I can't think what it would look like without the extra packaging!) It's absolutely beautiful. I'm also a CA native, and had been trying to guess on the locales from which you derived your inspiration - I was pretty close on a couple of them, and others are so reminiscent of places that I visit regularly that it will be a joy to knit them all!

    Alana - the book is completely beautiful. When you look through it, the care that you and Hannah put into producing it is very obvious. I hope there will be another book from the two of you!

    I got my copy today. And I hate to tell you this but even though you put the FRAGILE sticker on the flat mailing envelope on both sides, the mailman folded it in two and stuffed in my po box. Doesn't look like any permanent damage has been done...it's just aggravating that they did it. I'll put it under some heavy books to flatten it out. And then I'm off to knit some wonderful designs...ty!
