You really never know what will happen when you put yourself out there. I got the submission call for the 60 Quick Toddler Knits Book on August 14th. I left for vacation on August 15th with 6 skeins of yarn and 14 days to come up with as many designs possible. I knit swatch after swatch and my husband did sketch after sketch. Racing to put together the pitch, which was sent 10 minutes before the deadline, didn't give me much time for reflection. Once it was over, I walked around in a bit of a daze: Did that just happen? Was it any good? Did they even get it?
