Shannon Okey has written a lot of books, but I admit I’m the most excited about the one she’s just self-published. It’s called The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design, and, well, its topic is obvious.
She’s just started a blog tour to promote the book (see the schedule, below), and next Tuesday, July 13th, I’ll be interviewing her live on Twitter from 4pm-6pm Pacific / 7pm-9pm Eastern time.
We’ll be giving away a couple of her books, too.
Just follow the hashtag #knitgrrlguide. You don’t have to have a Twitter account to follow along, but you do need one to participate. And what’s a live interview without Q&A? (Also, being able to do things like this is just one reason Twitter is awesome.)
Follow me on Twitter as @kpwerker, and Shannon as @knitgrrl.
