This is so cool. I got the version where you get the Ebook right away and the hard copy once it's published. I've never understood why anyone would want both before, but in this case where there is both a story and knitting patterns, it makes perfect sense. How many times have I squashed a spendy
Just so you know, the patterns that would look good on busty and/or plus sized girls come in lots of sizes. They explain how things like long fingerless gloves can be made to fit. The pictures are amazing. I will be starting The Warm & Tingley Headscarf and then plan to make The Abundance Vest so I can join the local Red Vest Society which is currently all guys but they I could certainly join wearing that vest. LOL
I haven't read all the story yet, but the parts I've skimmed on the computer look like a rousing steampunk adventure. Here is a link to pictures of the patterns. You can message me if you have questions about things like the sizes included with the pattern.

pattern book to my scanner in an attempt to get a copy of a knitting chart I can put on a clip board? This way I can print out the pattern I am working on so I can easily see it and mark the rows off as I finish. So very handy. Also the publisher sends you a link so you can have a copy kept on your Ravelry account just in case your computer crashes (knocks wood).
