Charm City Knits is coming SO soon, guys!

I can hardly believe it.

I wanted to share a few sneak peek pics with you today, and I'm going to intersperse them with some details about how this collection is going to be published and sold.

The collection has 6 pieces, including a hat, a shawlette, and fingerless mitts. And every piece was created with a yarn dyed right here in Maryland! (Did you know that Maryland is home to both Magpie Fibers AND Shalimar Yarns? Now you do!)

I'll be releasing each pattern individually first. The first pattern will be released on Monday, April 4. Then a new pattern will be released every Monday, through May 9.*

Once the final pattern is released, the entire ebook will also become available.

The ebook will have extra photos, some history of Baltimore, stories about the places that inspired each design and tips for visiting (Restaurants! Bars! What to do other than wander aimlessly around the Inner Harbor! Someone called me hon--should I be insulted?).

Best of all, you'll have a chance to pre-order the full ebook at a discount. On the day the first pattern is released, pre-orders will also open--you can pre-order the ebook at any time before its official publication date, May 9.

When you pre-order the ebook for $9.99, you'll receive each individual pattern as it's released. Then, when the final pattern is published, you'll receive the complete ebook with all the fun extras.

Once the complete ebook is published, the price will increase to $12.99--still a steal for 6 patterns, but your best deal is the pre-order. Individual patterns will continue to be sold at the normal price--$5.50 for accessories, $6.50 for garments.

So mark your calendars--April 4, the fun begins!
