Hunter Hammersen

On Tuesday’s podcast: Hunter Hammersen!!

Hunter comes to the podcast today to enlighten us all about her adventures in the world of self publishing and what is about to his the shelves!

Hunter started out going the “traditional” route of publishing, and teamed up with a publishing house and had a good time, however decided that the route of self publishing was more her cup of tea. ย She discussed the ins and outs of photography, charts, editing, pattern writing, printing, all the little ins and outs of getting your designs out “in the wild”.

Hunter had some super fun news, as her new book (Ne’er Do Well Knits) was finished printing early, and she was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the UPS guy while on the show with Marly, and warned Marly that if she saw him, she was going to drop the phone and run for the door!

Hunter later blogged on her own page the pictures of the boxes and books that arrived at her house, and she was SO excited to get them opened, it looks like it was a bit like Christmas at her house!

Hunter has self published 5 books/mini books now,

  • Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet (Volume 1)
  • Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet (Volume 2)
  • Ne’er Do Well Knits
  • Rabble Rousers
  • Silk Road Socks

You can order each of them through her website, OR you can enter in the giveaway below, and be entered to win Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Volumes 1 and 2 as well as Ne’er Do Well Knits!

So, that brings us to theย giveaway this week! ย As always, leave a comment with Hunter’s keyword, and you can be entered to win!!

    You scoundrel is what I call my cat when she starts to go for the yarn I’m working with. Just recently switching to knitting from crocheting and would love to get my hands on her giveaway.

    I loved hearing about Hunter’s creative process and how her books go from imagination to reality. She’s such a scoundrel, rebelling agaisnt the publishing companies. I’m definitely going to check out her patterns now.

    Thanks for another great podcast. I have never heard of Hunter before and you have opened my eyes to her beautiful designs! I don’t know which pattern I would want to start with! I love the names that she came up with for each pattern, I really like the scoundrel pattern and vandal!

    I have knit many things, but have yet to knit socks. Hunter’s sock designs are absolutely stunning… perhaps Scoundrel socks will be my first?
