Anna Dalvi’s new book Ancient Egypt in Lace and Color went up for preorder yesterday, a bit ahead of schedule so she could announce it to the members of her newest KAL. Remember this quick preview? Well, it just gets better from there!


This is a draft of the cover, but honestly, that shot completely does it for me…think it’ll be the final, for sure.

Speaking of photos: we did the photoshoot while Caro Sheridan was here shooting a number of different books for CP (believe me, we’ve been busy!) and I’m really pleased with it thus far. The twelve designs in this book are so solid, and I think they’ll bring joy to any shawl knitter’s project queue.

Preorder Ancient Egypt in Lace and Color today!
