Making it Purple!

Okay!  I'm calming down since the election.  Thank you for all of the posts.  There were many great points in what you said.  For one, there are many people in the middle states who DID vote for Kerry and we do need to find a way to bridge the gap.

Re: moving away and leaving American for the right wingers.  Well, that is a reaction.  It is something we've often talked about long before this election.  But it has to do with a love of Europe more than a hatred of America.  For the record, I have no plans to leave as of yet and was just mouthing off out of frustration.

Somehow instead of being a blue or red state, we need to make it all purple!

In big KNIT NEWS...........
Stitch n Bitch Nation pictures are up!  Just click on the new book and it will take you to the pictures page. My very first design, the BAM13 sweater is in there and it looks so cool!  I feel like a proud mama or something.  They're not labeled online so look for the black and white sweater on a guy standing against a graffiti'd wall.  He he! 

Anyway,.........I'm out of my funk and there's lots going on this week.  The VH1 thing airs beginning November 9th and I'm nervous, excited and scared all at once.  I find myself hoping that I didn't make an ass of myself!  ha!  Entirely possible, I assure you.  On that same day, it looks like Stitch n Bitch Nation hits the streets.  That's kinda wacky.

And since we're babbling about the new SnB book........can I just say..........?  I, like so many other gazillion other knitters out there.....have a book agent of my own now and have a proposal in the works.  So far, the reaction has been very positive as the angle dangle of my book idea is pretty extreme.  The positive side is it's feeding my creative side very well.  The down side is that I cannot post about any of the projects on here and that just sucks!  But I am working on stuff that will be too offensive for the book and I will put that stuff up!  Cuz you know how I like to get a reaction.  MEOW!

Well, it's a sunday.  it's supposed to rain.  we're planning to go to the beach to deliver some work of Bam's to someone and then go to a movie.

Oh ........speaking of films.......saw MOTORCYCLE DIARIES last night.  Awesome.  "Let the world change you... and you can change the world".  That is a message I needed to hear right now.  And the music is gorgeous!  Gave me hope in humanity again.

Congrats on getting published-- I clicked over to check it out and it sure looks good. I bet there will soon be Bam sweaters getting knitted all over the nation. And-- looking forward to seeing your VH1 thing. You totally deserve it all you cool-ass knitter!

[Rebecca]

WORD - congratulations on getting your pattern included in SnB! I can't wait to get the book and see what it looks like! Keep up the good knitting.

Great job on the pattern in SNB!! Just a note, the red bag with the guy on it... looks like Bam. No? It's a couple of pictures down, after yours.

You've got so much going on - so exciting!!

Oh I want to see that movie sooo bad! I didn't realise it was out yet! It's not here in my town yet.... bummer!

SNB Nation looks awesome! Congrats on getting published!!! I must make a trip to the book store tomorrow....cannot hold out on this one! ^_^

how was your show the other night? instead of watching election results, i should have gotten off my tired ass and gone to the show. i'd have been far less hostile on wednesday after seeing a rawkus rock n roll show and burning off some energy. :-)

love your SNB pattern, i have one in there as well. but i really want to hear more about the book agent/proposal. i'll bet you know why...

Share, just saw your VH1 show tonight. It was great and I think you were all very brave chicks for agreeing to do the show! I hope that everyone got good closure; it seemed like it from the show.

I'm dying to pick up my copy of SNBNation and look more closely at the Bam sweater.

Good luck with all of your pursuits. You're very talented!

Long time lurker here...Just wanted to give you a congrats on the book publication. I saw a copy the other day and knew right away it was yours without looking. Also, congrats on he VH1 show...I caught the episode last night. You looked great. I admit I was not much of a listener back in those days, but my husband (who was also in a band back then...oh my, you should have seen his hair!) thought it was way cool. He got a real kick out of you being hunted down in a yarn store. That's usually where he has to hunt me down.

I found out about the VH-1 show on your blog and I watched it, too, last night. I didn't have any idea what to expect, and I was thrilled that they ambushed and interviewed you in a yarn shop. I can't imagine what that experience must have been like. After watching the show, I have to say good for you for being true to your self. Oh, and congrats on being published! I'm supposed to get SNBNation in the mail from Debbie, so I'm going to have to wait on seeing the patterns up close.

Congrats on being in SnB Nation!
Looks like a bunch of LA SnB'ers have patterns in there...including me!
Can't wait to see the book already. It's getting great buzz.
I'm also curious about your agent, etc.
