The Winter 2010 issue of Knitcircus magazine is live today!
You may note by looking at the masthead that I’ve been “promoted” — I am now a contributing editor. 
In this issue you will find my article: “Make It Fit: Adjusting Stitch Patterns for Sock Design.” I hope you enjoy it.
This looks like a lovely issue — after a quick read-through I can see that there are as usual great articles and reviews and of course a lot of wonderful patterns to knit — many of them great for holiday knitting and giving.
As usual, my lovely and generous editor-in-chief Jaala Spiro has authorized me to give away two one-year subscriptions and ten pattern collections from this issue. Want to win one? Leave a comment on this blog post by noon eastern time on Sunday, November 14 to be entered in the drawing.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, the day job is getting in the way of my knitting progress. I tell you, this working for a living nonsense is starting to annoy me. I managed a few rows on the sleeve of the Not-Quite-All-the-Way-So-Much Hawthorn Sweater last night.
Tomorrow is a holiday for us Feds and I have nothing planned for the day, so I’m hoping to spend it relaxing, snuggling with Miss Lucy, and knitting.
The 13th is my birthday.. What a great gift a subscription to the Knit Circus would be..Thanks for all you do.
Congratulations on your promotion with KnitCircus! That is exciting.

Thanks.

My job gets in the way of my knitting time, too. Gotta do something about that. Entry please.

The day job is what keeps the knitting from becoming work instead of passion.
Thank you for the inspiration and keeping me interested in knitting!
A subscription would be awesome – I see lots of stuff I want to knit!

Thanks for the offer. What a beautiful magazine!

So would love to win, love that sweater and those cables. I have become friends with cables. I thought they were scary, but they are so fun to watch come together!!
Have a great holiday! I do understand the day job getting in the away. I am so almost done with that!!
~Amy
Would love to win either gift! Gotta love the holidays that don’t require lots of cooking, cleaning, and shopping. (Still working on the Pi shawl — maybe I’ll make some progress now.)
So that explains some of the stealth work that your day job has been interfering with! Congratulations on your promotion.
I would love to win a subscription to Knit Circus. How wonderful. Thank you. Hi Lucy!
I am interested in the magazine – would love to win a 2-year subscription!
How generous!
Thank you!
Once again, please count me into the drawing, Ms. Editrix. I’d love to win something from that Emag. It’s great!
I’d love to win a subscription!
Oooh, I’d love to win a subscription! I saw a couple patterns in this issue already that I really, really like!
Woohoo, another giveaway!
Day jobs are a drag but whatcha gonna do? (:
Do enjoy your day off…Lucy will enjoy having you home!
(I am also crazily waving my hand…pick me…pick me…pick me!).
I would love to give those socks with the arch shaping a try!
I would love to win either a subscription or a pattern collection from Knitcircus. Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love this! I have been drooling all day
Looks like a great magazine – have never seen it in our area…your article on adjusting sock patterns should be a good one, that is something I have been dealing with on my toe up socks!
Keep up the good work!
Anna
Enjoy your holiday! I have a particularly long day at work tomorrow, sigh.
I love knitcircus and can only hope that the random # generator is strangely attracted to me this time…

Love to have a subscription to KnitCircus, or a pattern collection.
Oh, yeah, I’d like to win. Happy Veterans’ Day, too! Thanks for sharing!
Love to have a subscription! Can’t seem to find it on sale anywhere, and I’m always looking for new exciting patterns. And I really need more info to make socks. Congrats on your promotion!
Hope you enjoy your day with Miss Lucy and get a lot of knitting done, too. I’m sure she will enjoy it!
Love Knitcircus, maybe I’ll get lucky this time
Jobs and kids take away too much time from knitting! I don’t have a full-time job but I have a full-time baby and lately it’s been taking me forever to finish projects. Hopefully you find some time soon to work on your knitting!
I would love to win, please enter my name…
Pick me! I’d love to win a KnitCircus subscription!
Gwen
I want one. Happy knitting.

My day job is also getting in the way of my knitting, and lately I am finding that very annoying. Oh well, no job, no yarn, so off to work I go.
Have a great day off knitting tomorrow, I envy you.
Have a great day off! I would love to get some new knitting reading around here.
Love Knitcircus and I agree that working does really affect knitting- but don’t give up on the job-as a retiree, those benes count!!
I would love to try this magazine out – I hope I win woohoo!!!!!
Trying again!
Thanks for the contest!
I agree with you on this ‘working for a living’ business! I’ve switched jobs and am adjusting to the 8-hr/day thing after being off for a few weeks!
Congratulations
Thankyou so much for the chance to win. It would be wonderful to learn to fit my own socks to my favourite patterns.
I would so like to win. Just so love your blog and look forward to my daily fix. Thankyou

Haha. The joke is on me. A day off for you means extra work for me! The kids are off Thurs and Fri! I think just the balm for that one would be to win this drawing!
Congratulations on the ‘promotion’ and enjoy your day off with Lucy! Thanks for the chance at the big give-away.
I love trying for these freebies!
oh–looks lovely–I hope you pick me!!!!!
Me me please!!
Looks like a great magazine – I’d love a subscription!
job… sleep… housework… it all gets in the way of knitting. hardly seems fair. I would love any of those things.
Enjoy your day off. I know I plan to do so. Hugs to Lucy.
Looks like a good issue–it would be great to win a subscription!
I know the day is going to come when I win one of these. Of course I’ve felt that way about the lottery for 20 years and that hasn’t happened. But I’m still hopeful!
A knitter can always use another knitting magazine. Thank you.

I don’t now about this magazine…how did I miss it?
Today is my birthday! Along with the Marine Corps. I am humbled.
You are always so generous and inspirational. Thank you so much and yes I would love a subscription.
Lucy says, “yippee!!! Mommy’s going to be home with me. I will curl up on her lap all day.”
I’d love a peek at knitcircus, if the RNG is kind. And I must say, you either do an excellent job of lint-rolling your knits, or Lucy doesn’t shed as much as my cats. Your sleeve looks nice and crisp and cathair-free!
congratulations on the promotion! hope it came with a big raise. I don’t know how you juggle it all, but I’ll buy anything you write that has to do with sock knitting….
thanks~!
Have never peeked at Knit Circus, but if you write for it, it’s gotta be good!
Hope to win, but am not counting on it!
Have a great day off, Wendy.
I love Knitcircus. I was introduced to it at the Men’s Fall Knitting Retreat in Seattle. A great resource. My wife and I would both love the magazine and patterns.
