Remember this post? Well, the book will be ready soon, so it’s preorder time! With more than 25 patterns, and a wealth of ideas for you to incorporate into your own knitting, Reversible Scarves: Curing the Wrong Side Blues by Audrey Knight of Audknits is a treasure trove of knitterly goodness. Here are some of the shots Caro Sheridan took for the book at Rhinebeck this fall (talk about an amazing place to take photos!) — and these are just a handful of them!

We posted a quick question about this on our Facebook page earlier in the week before Apple announced its new textbook initiative and new ebook authoring software, but Shannon is also reaching out on her site to ask for more information on how you are using ebooks and other digital knitting media. Join the conversation there!
What can we do to make ebooks and other digital products more useful for you? Embedded videos? Audio? You name it…but please go over to this entry to post and discuss with other knitters. Cooperative Press is dedicated to bringing you the very best, including any new technologies that will help you get more out of our books!
Congrats are in order for Rebecca, the winner of our Jane Austen Knits ad contest. If you missed out, don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll do another contest like this one in the future. Grab a copy of Jane Austen Knits and check out the classifieds. This ad told you what to do:
…then the clues were scattered inside the classifieds. You not only had to play along to get the clues, but you also had to get all the questions right, and then be randomly chosen among everyone with correct answers! So congratulations, Rebecca! We hope you enjoy your prize package of CP books.
We’re trying something new at Cooperative Press by putting up previews of our books on Scribd, where you can check out some of the interior in advance and hopefully get a feel for the book before buying. Beyond Knit & Purl is the first one we’ve done so far. What do you think? What other kinds of things would you like to see in previews like this?
Beyond Knit & Purl — Kate Atherley

If you’re in the US, you’re getting geared up for what is an improbably busy (and usually ridiculous) weekend of holiday sales. Black Friday, Cyber Monday…it can be overwhelming. However, if you’re reading this, chances are good you believe in supporting independent companies like ours, so we’d like to let you know…
1. If you’re on the mailing list, we’re sending out information on CP’s holiday sales specials on Thanksgiving (Thursday). Along with special prices, we’ll be offering up bookplates for gift orders designed by the one and only Franklin Habit.
2. We’re doing giveaways, too. Yarn, knitting bags, all kinds of good stuff — so stay tuned for that newsletter!
3. Help us spread the word about shopping indie this season on Facebook. You can go to this album and share the second banner on your Facebook wall with one simple click. It’s an important message to get across in the midst of all the earlier-every-year sales events. Hey, we’re open 24 hours a day 365 days a year here on the site, if you really, really want to shop at 5:30 a.m.!
4. We couldn’t do it without you. Thanks for supporting independent publishers like Cooperative Press this holiday season. ♥
Anna Dalvi is hard at work on her next book for Cooperative Press (great news for those of you who loved Shaping Shawls)! We thought it might be nice (albeit cruel) to give you a little teaser of what’s to come:
Team CP had an excellent time with Anna at Rhinebeck this year, even though a server at our new favorite restaurant did mistake one of the pieces from Anna’s new book for a crocheted hat. Not even close…
Don’t forget to join the Cooperative Press mailing list — it’s the best way to be in the loop on our latest releases and preorders.
