I have been waiting on tenter hooks to see if my pattern would really be published in Simply Knitting - or if it was all in my imagination..........but it's true!
It is even on the front cover! The little Christmas Pudding in the corner!!! Inside it has a three page spread... I can't believe it - or breathe.
Congrats!!! Bask in the glory - you deserve it. There is nothing like the buzz of seeing yourself in print. May it be the start of many more to come.

No one deserves that more than you. Congratulations, it's fantastic. And even here in Southern California, I know what a great publication Simply Knitting is. :0)

I'm so happy for you. A little external validation of your talent is a very nice thing!!! I can't wait to make one to brighten my holidays. (I once brought home a Christmas pudding from Marks and Spencer - sadly it was one of life's over-rated culinary adventures.

I pounced on this magazine in the shop on Friday because I knew your pattern was in it. It is very very cute, as all your patterns are. I hope your appearance is the first of many, and your pattern encourages more knitters to pick up a hook.

Oh congratulations and yes, buy as many copies as you can find. I was in Closer mag once and did just that - everyone wanted to scrounge them! Plus you get to tell the newsagent that you're famous : )

I am so disappointed. I ran right out after your post and it wasn't in the stores. I went back this weekend and they have a holiday issue, but not the cover you have shown. I haven't opened it up yet, so I am hoping it is just a different cover. But the free gift in this issue was 25 Christmas Toys? Congrats on being published, regardless.
