I’m Trying Not to Brag.
This is page 11 of the October issue of Simply Knitting (a kick-ass UK-based knitting magazine)
Do you see what I am talking about? Look at the bottom of the page. Here. Closer.
Yes, that is my “Jack Sparrow’s Favorite Socks” pattern, featured as one of their “Five Things.” I’ve know about it for a little while, since I got an email from one of the editors asking if they could use it. I’m so, SO thrilled and flattered. I love this magazine, and I buy it every month at Barnes and Noble. And now, they’ve got a loyal fan for life. 
Oh, and if you would like the pattern for yourself, you can get the .pdf right here. Just sayin’.

Wow, that totally intrigues me!!! They spelled favorite with a u despite the fact that the pattern name is spelled without it…would an American magazine spell the title (which is also the pattern name) the American way even if the pattern name was spelled the British way???
But aside from splitting hairs–very cool!!!!

Yay for you! I guess I know a real live knitting star. I am humbled by your greatness.

Go girl, go girl….
Surely they should give you a complimentary years’ subscription?
I actually made the hat last year. If I knit Yakko some matching socks, he’d be positively giddy. Hmmm…
Congratulations!

Oh My God! I just got my copy and didn’t even see that! (I was flipping too quick apparently). Awesome! Congratulations!!

That is extremely cool. And to respond to Bezzie’s question, Yes, I’m guessing a U.S. pub WOULD edit out the u’s. The Yarn Harlot blogged about it — her publisher edits out all of her “briticisms” in all of her books.
And yes, I’ve now added “Stop at borders and see if I can find this mag” to my list of errands for today!
