If Deborah's name seems familiar, you can look here to be reminded of her many talents and interests.

Most recently, you may have heard of her in her role as publisher of Nomad Press, publisher of books for intrepid knitters including this recently released book:

Arctic Lace: Knitted projects and stories inspired by Alaska’s native knitters
by Donna Druchunas

The approximately 250 Native Alaskan members of the Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers’ Co-operative harvest the ultra-fine, ultra-soft underdown of musk-oxen, known as qiviut, and use the resulting yarn to knit lace garments whose designs are inspired by traditional designs and culture. Author Donna Druchunas has traveled to Alaska and brought back her experiences with these knitters and their wonderful textiles.

It's okay to drool, especially on your own copy.

I love Betty's piece in KnitLit Too, 'Color Hunger', and was delighted to learn she has written a book. And what a book - important, beautiful, inspiring, and just published by Stewart, Tabori and Chang/Melanie Falick Books. I was so pleased to finally meet her in person at Rhinebeck.
Congratulations, Betty!


Knitting for Peace: Make the World a Better Place One Stitch at a Time includes (not surprisingly) the story of Peter Hagerty and Peace Fleece. I love everything about Peace Fleece: the mission, the personalities, the colors. (I have a personal goal to knit my way through their entire colorway.)
