Tasha Could Make That

Tasha Could Make That

Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

Participating in Coronation Knits blog tour, just announced!

June 11, 2012 by Tasha 12 Comments

I’m so excited to announce this today! I’ve been keeping it under wraps for awhile now and it’s been quite difficult, let me tell you!

First (and not the part under wraps), as those of you vintage knitters out there may already know, Susan Crawford of A Stitch in Time series fame has just published Coronation Knits. It’s a fabulous book of 14 knitting patterns inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee and the young Queen’s early fashions around the time of her coronation, the late 40s and early 50s. I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly been enjoying all of the Jubilee-related coverage coming from Britain!

Coronation Knits is now available, and you can buy it in print or ebook. And I can tell you already, it’s a wonderful book!

Second (and the part I was keeping under my royalty-inspired fancy hat), I’m also thrilled to announce that Susan is doing a blog tour this summer for Coronation Knits, and I was asked to participate! If you’ve followed my blog for awhile now you know my passion for vintage knitting, and I’m so excited to be a part of the Coronation Knits blog tour! I’m practically bursting at the (knitted) seams.

    Oh what a great idea – I love the idea of a blog tour and I will be following as much as I can. I have seen a couple of images and comments about the book – it looks wonderful, although a little out of my league!!

    How marvelously fun! I’m bursting with Jubilee spirit and a love for all things British royal family related this year, so I’ll be extra excited to see what you create for this awesome sounding Coronation Knits project.

    I’m very excited about this and when I saw some photos from the book it seems that it is on my “to-buy”-list. I’m excited about it because my darling hubby is english and he’s also royalist so we keep close track on what’s going on with English Royals 😀
