BrandyMy name is Brandy Fortune, and I design knit-wear for kids. I love Crème Brulée, Sci-Fi, 70 degree weather and reading a good book in bed. I spend my time knitting, sewing, taking pictures, co-editing the web-zine Petite Purls and raising my two daughters. This website chronicals my adventures in both parenthood and design.

A New Day

January 3, 2012 · Filed under My first book | Comments (4)

Today I turned in the manuscript for the book. Huzzah! There are still some loose ends to clean up, and lots to photograph (wish me luck in this weather!) but I can’t tell you how excited I am. I wish I could share it all with you. I can’t even believe I designed so many things in one year. I think I was a little crazy when I took it all on, but I can’t tell you how anxious I am for the next steps. I had the pleasure of meeting Lily Chin at last years TNNA, and I recall saying to her “I have no idea what happens after I turn everything in, thats the part I’m most anxious about” to which she replied; “get ready Brandy, you get ready for it!!”

I’m here, and I’m ready for it.

Lace, garter stitch, top down raglan, bottom up seamless, pieced,  boys, girls, other *things*.  Cables, short-rows, slipped stitches, twisted stitches and LGs favorite animal. I can not wait for you to see.
