Midwestern Knits Kickstarter Project

Time is almost up to back Midwestern Knits on Kickstarter! This is a book I really want to see published, so I hope you'll join the campaign to help
Allyson and Carina reach their goal.

I'm a native Oklahoman transplanted to Brooklyn. Enthusiastic cultural pride seems to be an important part of being a New Yorker, so people here are always trying to pin down my regional identity. Because it's right in the middle of the country, Oklahoma is a bit perplexing for most people to classify, including Oklahomans. Is it the South? Well, not really. True southerners don't think so anyway. Is it in the Midwest? No, not quite. Well, that leaves southwest, right? Um, definitely not!

Technically, the Sooner State is the South, but I feel a bit like a chameleon sometimes when talking to people from adjacent regions. I can identify with all of them in some way. That's why I was so excited (and a twinge prideful) when I saw my buddy Allyson's concept for a Midwest inspired collaborative collection. I love the idea, and can hardly wait to see what the impressive roster of designers come up with.

I've backed this project, and I hope you will too!
