you can buy it from interweave; and it is also up on amazon at a special pre-order price
if all of that isn’t kick ass enough, there is a free pattern!!!!!!!!!

interweave is putting together a handspun swap in celebration.
it launches october first, the same day the book hits the shelves!

    Electric Jinky Socks Rock!!! And you are too cute - even without pink hair! I’m so happy for you, it sounds like a wonderful project :) I found another spinning for knitting book at the LYS and looked for you and was so disappointed. I kept thinking I had missed the book but I remember your posting about mailing off the electric jinky socks like it was yesterday with your feet up on the window and all. Sweet! Congrats, I will definitely check it out :)
