Origins

I had been working on designing my white tank when I saw Katie Himmelberg post an IK call for submissions in the Designers Group on Ravelry. I immediately requested the submissions packet. And off I went thinking up what would become Eyelet Surplice Dress. Well, you sort of know the story of finding out that my design had been accepted.



What you don't know is that there were some somewhat hilarious circumstances of the phone call. I was on my way to a meeting when I saw a call come in from an unknown area code and phone number. I ignored the call and let it go into voicemail. I checked the voicemail and what I heard was "Hi, this is...from Interweave Knits and we want to run your design..." I hung up and called Jen immediately, because who else would appreciate my exciting news but a fellow knitter? After relaying the news, I went back to my voicemail to listen to the message more carefully. "Hi, this is Eunny Jang from Interweave Knits..." I go to my meeting, and afterwards, I email Jen straight away and expressed that I ignored a phone call from Eunny. What a funny moment that was.



Anyway, here I am with payment, thank you postcard, a copy of the magazine, and extra pages from the In Green Lace section. I was just thinking that I should buy some extra copies and get it all framed. IK hooked me up!

I've been contacted by several people with questions already. If you are knitting this pattern, and have questions regarding the pattern, yarn subs, what have you, I can be reached via blog comments, email (see sidebar), or Ravelry. I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.
