Arctic Lace is now available on our ordering page (or from your favorite local book or yarn shop). Arctic Lace has generated an enthusiastic following, due in no small part to its wonderful author, Donna Druchunas. Check out her blog at http://www.sheeptoshawl.com/blog.php, and her Arctic Lace page at http://www.sheeptoshawl.com/arcticlace.html.

Publisher (and knitter and writer and artist) Deborah Robson also has a blog, located at http://independentstitch.typepad.com. Get an inside look at the very small publishing world, our four-footed office assistants, (we pay in kibble; none of them seems to mind), get updates on shoveling progress in the currently snowy state of Colorado, and check out what Deborah is knitting.

Spinning in the Old Way is now available to order directly from us on our ordering page (or from your favorite local book or yarn shop). We hope you enjoy it!

Happy new year!

We have updated our books page and have publication dates posted for both Spinning in the Old Way and Arctic Lace. That’s two books coming out in 2006! Unfortunately we have had to move the publication date for Knitting Cowichan Sweaters back to 2007; the book keeps getting bigger and we do not want to release it before it is ready. Our apologies to anyone who has been waiting patiently for it to show up; it is in production and we are making progress.

We have also added a News Archive page; the news page was getting awfully long and the new page should help with that.

Things just keep moving along here, and it is difficult to remember to slow down enough to update the news page!

First up, those of you have have read the Home Page recently have probably noticed that there is a new section on the Nomad site. Dogtooth Books is devoted to imaginative fiction for middle-grade and young adult (and adult) readers. Please wander around the new section and let us know what you think!

Knitting in the Old Way is one of the three finalists for the IPPYs (Independent Publisher Book Awards) in its category (How-to / Crafts / Hobby)! Visit the Independent Publisher site to find out about other finalists and winners.

Knitting in the Old Way is also one of ten finalists in the ForeWord Book of the Year Award in its category (Crafts & Hobbies). Check out the Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Awards section of the Foreword Magazine site to find out about the other finalists in the category.

We are thrilled about both of these placements and were up against some very tough competition.

It should be possible to order Knitting in the Old Way and Simple Socks directly from us beginning sometime this month. It will be through PayPal, though we hope to have another payment option at some point in the future. We would not hold our breath on when the alternate option will show up.

The final piece of news for right now is that the Nomad site will be undergoing a redesign in the near future. We hope you like the new look! (We hope we do too; we have yet to determine what, exactly, it will look like.)
