CSI: Criminal Sock Investigations

May10

CSI

What is CSI?
Several months of detective work has led to Criminal Sock Investigations, a collection of 10 sock patterns & case files featuring the top 10 most wanted sock criminals.

Is this a club?
CSI is similar to a monthly sock club, but more flexible.
The collection will be available via the Ravelry Pattern Store as a one-time e-book purchase ($28), or as individual patterns purchased separately as they are released ($4). A new sock pattern will be available every month. If you purchase the CSI e-book, when  a new pattern is released, Ravelry will send a notification with a link to download the new pattern.

Also, in the spirit of a club I have started a Crafty Detour group on Ravelry, where we will post information, announcements, share ideas, projects and questions. Please come join us!

Must I join Ravelry to participate?
No. CSI will be available via the Ravelry Pattern Store, but you do NOT need an account to purchase the patterns. (Ravelry just handles the hosting of the PDFs and the PayPal transactions). However, you may want to consider joining Ravelry, as it is quite a wonderful resource.

When will it be available?
The first pattern and e-book will be available starting June 21.

Special thanks to our two diligent detectives (test knitters) Sairy and Alynxia . They help make the knitting world a safer place by dedicating many hours tracking down these sock criminals!

Heather, Ida, and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Knit-a-While, Sairy Knits, and Digitalnabi come together to provide a three part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Ida is a knitter, foodie, freelance editor and author, and the publisher of Knitting Purls. She is apparently addicted to blogging. You can follow her on Knit-a-While, The Thinking Knitter, and The Evolving Sock Knitter.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
