*All the links above are to my sneak previews. Interweave should have a slideshow of more of the projects and such in the next few months. You can be definitely sure I will share that with you as soon as they post it! Also as soon as I can, I will update this list with a list of sizes and more info on each chapter too. Have to wait until we go through final final editing before I list that though.

Looking through the table of contents a few things may have popped out. One, if you are really keeping track at home you will notice that a few of my sneak preview projects are not on the list. Yup, a number of projects got cut. I know I am sad about it as well. All is not lost though. I do plan on releasing those patterns in the future too, just in a different format (aka. you will be able to purchase the "cutting room floor" patterns from me ala carte.) Secondly, you probably have noticed that I named everything with a proper name. I did that for two reasons. First because I thought naming the projects "Sweater 1" "Sweater 2" wasn't really original. But more importantly, as you know I like to imagine the woman I am designing a project for while I am designing. In this case, I used women in my family as my inspiration. So all of those lovely people above are real people. They are my sisters, my nieces, my mothers. Well, one of them is. Two of my mothers and my grandmothers projects were cut. (Good think I got to thank them in the intro!). I don't know how others do it, but this process so works for me. Its so easy to pick out colors and styles when I can imagine what my sister would like to make and wear. Lastly, as you will notice most of these projects are sweaters. What can I say? I love sweaters!

Hope you enjoyed this quick peek under the hood. I have more and more in store for you as the release date gets closer. Stay Tuned~
