Julie is the author of Brave New Knits, subtitled "26 Projects and Personalities from the Knitting Blogosphere." This subtitle pretty much sums up the book, which will be released next week. But since I am one of the blogger-designers featured in it, I received an advance copy. I've had a chance to read through it, and I can say that even if you are not really interested in finding out more about knitwear designers such as Ysolda Teague, Mari Muinonen, Connie Chang Chinchio, Norah Gaughan, Jared Flood or Grumperina (to name a few), you should consider buying this book just for the patterns! 
I will be posting about the design process for my contribution to the book, the "Seaweed Vest," in a couple of weeks, but first, I will be posting an interview with Julie Turjoman, the author of Brave New Knits, and a blogger-designer in her own right. I found her answers to my questions very interesting, and hopefully you will too!
The Vespa Hat is a fun, quick project-- and fun to wear, with earflaps to keep your ears warm, a loose fit to prevent the dreaded "hat head," and an optional ponytail hole. Ear flaps and back of neck are worked flat; after front stitches are cast on, hat is worked in the round. See more patterns
