Earlier this year a book called Astounding Knits!: 101 Spectacular Knitted Creations and Daring Feats was published. It’s an amazing book showcasing some incredible knitting artists. There are all sorts of projects featured from a full size knitted ferrari to jumpers that fit on a pin. There’s even someone who knit themselves into a cocoon. Excitingly there’s also a page about my knitted animations! Unfortunately they decided I was male so there are a lot of he’s on my page… never mind though, it’s still fun to be in a book! My Learning to Knit guys are even used on the title page. You can get a copy of Astounding Knits on Amazon.

Sorry to hear about the mix-up with your name/gender in the book! One of my favourite artists of all time – Bobby Baker – was once mis-reviewed as being a man, and she made a point of starting many subsequent performances by announcing “I am Bobby Baker and I am a woman.”
Your animations are amazing, I really enjoyed seeing them at Rheged – especially “I am Ahab”.
Ha, that’s great! That’s the trouble with organising things like this electronically, maybe I need a similar announcement in my e-mail signature!
