Oh, the places we'll go!
Running this knitting blog has been an endlessly interesting exercise for me: it's an enormous luxury to be able to write only about things I find exciting, fascinating, newsworthy - things I want to write about. It's hugely exciting, too, to be a part of an ever-growing, never-monolithic community that reinterprets, rethinks, and reinvents the craft every day. And of course, there's that delicious sotto voce whisper of possibility that seems to hover every moment in the blog world - what could happen next?
Usually, print mediums have very different enticements for both the writer and the reader: the broad reach, of course; the permanence; the sheer tactile pleasure of turning pages filled with saturated color and close-set text. No one at home on a sick day sits propped up in bed with a mug of soup and their laptop, you know? Besides, when the magazine is a really good one - with depth, taste, and stone-cold technical excellence - contributing to it is like writing for a blog, but better: you have the same freedom to put out smart, meaty content, but with incredibly powerful resources at your disposal. Developing that content in the first place is the only thing that’s missing from the equation.
Unless there’s something I’ve been holding out on. Maybe I have a secret to tell you.
Here goes: I’m the new Editor of Interweave Knits - truly, my dream job. It means being able to talk about all kinds of fascinating things - history, technique, design, the convergence of old and new, innovation in an ancient craft - in a Really Big Way. It means working with brilliantly talented people on an already-extraordinary publication. It means having the opportunity to distill the absolute best content out there into four outstanding packages a year, plus special issues. And possibly most exciting of all, it means that, well, I finally know what to put on my business cards (“Eunny Jang, Blog Bunny” never seemed quite right, somehow).
I’m totally thrilled, completely overwhelmed, so incredibly excited about the things we’ll do and the places we'll go. Interweave and I have always had a fantastic relationship – they love good design for its own sake, historical context, clean technique, and every other aspect of good, thoughtful knitting just as much as I do. I mean, as we do. Huzzah!

WoW!! Super news! I'm so happy for you and us! We'll all benefit from your new position! Oh, and please, please, change the layout of the magazine BACK to its original format, because the new layout cheapens the magazine.

This is simply great news for everyone! So happy and tremendously excited for you and for knitters in general!

Congratulations Eunny, I knew you were headed for greatness. I talk about you all the time to the staff of my local knitting store. Now that you are involved this is one knitter who will subscribe to IWK instead of my current habit of looking through the mag and buying once in a while. I'm so happy you're on board.
Posted by: Alison | March 12, 2007 10:02 AM
Congrats Eunny!! :) I am so happy for you :-) Keep up the good knitting work and love to see for your new debut on IK :)

How wonderful and exciting! Congratulations!
Posted by: Karen | March 12, 2007 10:15 AM
Congratulations. A more talented editor could not be found!!! I have a little request. I encourage IK to remember that there are lots of experienced knitters over the age of 50 who want to make stylish garments for their bodies--bodies that do not resemble the bodies of a younger girl/woman. It's not that we are all obese or pleasingly plump, it's just that many of us have sagged a bit and our waists are not as defined as they used to be. But, we love to make stylish items that are not matronly or garish. Thanks!!!
Posted by: gail | March 12, 2007 10:15 AM
Congratulations! I look forward to working with you (assuming you pick my stuff).
Posted by: kate | March 12, 2007 10:16 AM

Posted by: Dianna | March 12, 2007 10:16 AM
Many, many congratulations! I'm so excited for you! And frankly, for me, because Eunny + IK can only mean an explosion of knitting goodness.
I have to admit though, I do sit at home on sick days propped up with a mug of soup and a laptop.
I also have to admit that I'd been butchering the pronunciation of your name in my head until I read that profile in Knitscene.
Posted by: Yvonne | March 12, 2007 10:17 AM
Congratulations! It's a positon that is well deserved and as an avid knitter I'm pleased that the publication picked someone who really knows her stuff. I'm looking forward to your first issue and all subsequent issues.
Posted by: Janice | March 12, 2007 10:17 AM
congratulations! this is HUGE news! you definitely deserve this and i'm sure you'll bring some young insight into the magazine.
i have to chime in and say that i hope that you take IK back to its old layout (or close to its old layout.) if you look at the reaction in blogland to the new one, you'll see that the overwhelming response wasn't good :) here's hoping that it will grow much brighter under your direction!
Posted by: gleek | March 12, 2007 10:18 AM
Whoa, mamasita, I'm kind of speechless! Such unexpected happy news! Jump up and down! Congratulations!

I hope you'll still be able to blog now and then. I really enjoy visiting this space and seeing the incredible projects you're working on.
p.s. Can you make it so we never see another knitted thong in Interweave again? Pretty please? ;-)

My happiness and excitement for you are a bit selfish because I can't wait to see all the amazing work you'll do that will excite my knitting life that much more!!! YOU ARE AMAZING AND MORE THAN DESERVE THIS!!!! And I agree with the comments above about changing the format back to what it used to be. Interweave is so above the rest and this "new look" does not support that.
CONGRATULATIONS EUNNY!!!! In the words of EZ...KNIT ON...
Posted by: Denise | March 12, 2007 11:02 AM
Mazel Tov! My favorite internet knitter and my favorite knitting magazine, united! Wow, wow, wow!

Posted by: jessie | March 12, 2007 11:19 AM
Wow. I'll add my voice to the chorus. Congrats!!
I can't wait to see your mark all over the magazine! This last issue had me wondering if I'd want to renew, but knowing what's coming, the answer is a resounding "yes!". Now... speaking of that last issue, I hope it goes back to the former format, where the photos were next to the patterns -- that is the most annoying thing ever (having them elsewhere)!
Again, congrats and all the best!
Posted by: AnaB | March 12, 2007 11:19 AM
hi eunny,
so very happy for you! must be so exciting. you do remember that you sent me one of your sweater a way back, i still have it. still love it. and i told you that i had a vibe that one day you'll be famous.

Posted by: CarolineF | March 12, 2007 11:48 AM
Wow! Congratulations -- I'm really excited to see what you'll bring to the magazine - I love your esthetic!

Huge congratulations to you. Since I started knitting about 3 years ago I've read a couple of blogs and I count yours as an absolute must read. It was horrible with the time between December and now but looking at the knit you're sending to Jamieson and hearing about the Interweave job makes it ok. Can't wait for your first issue. Thanks for all the great designs and congrats again!

Posted by: girlwednesday | March 12, 2007 12:18 PM
Fantastic news! And now I have a reason more to subscribe.
I wish you every possible good thing in this new adventure, but I am also commenting to tell you: I am this very minute in bed with a mug of tea and my laptop, nursing a cold and some work-related exhaustion. Some people do, in fact, do this. :-)
Have a great time at IK! I trust you to bring us extraordinary things, as always.
Posted by: jude | March 12, 2007 12:19 PM
Kick ass! Way to go Eunny. This is fabulous news. Still anxiously awaiting the Spring IK, but I'm ever so glad I subscribed.

You deserve this!
Posted by: barbinvic | March 12, 2007 12:30 PM

I hope you can post your adventures in being an editor from time-to-time. You are definitely going to have an overflowing plate, yet it is well worth it!
Congratulations!!

I am so completely excited for you Eunny! I'm still working up the nerve to attempt the Anemoi Mittens (the first mitten pattern and first intarsia pattern I've EVER really, really been inspired to try making). Your sense of style, color, and technical expertise inspire the rest of us to try new things and perfect what we do know. I can't think of a better person for the job. Sincere congratulations Eunny.
Posted by: Amy | March 12, 2007 01:09 PM

Thank you so much for the work you've put in to become such a talented artist, knitter, designer, and writer. I've enjoyed it so much on your blog and now to have you in print, directing a great publication? Nothing better!
As I scrolled down through the comments, I paused and caught sight of one that made me giggle--and I would like to echo: Spare us any more knitted thongs, if you could, please.
Back to being ernest now--I'm so glad you're getting the professional recognition and success that you deserve. Go get 'em!
Posted by: Valerie | March 12, 2007 01:20 PM

Congrats! Just when I thought IK couldn't get any better, now I know somehow it will! But, as others have asked, what will happen to the blog? I do hope you'll still find a little time for it. And we haven't heard anything about the book in a long time... is that still a go? Will any of the things you've shown us, but not released patterns for be in upcoming issues of IK?

Also, if your book is coming out, let us know... I know I will be one of the first to my hands on it! ;-)
Posted by: Rose | March 12, 2007 02:19 PM
So it sounds like the winter 2008 issue will be the first one that is completely yours? Congratulations. I look forward to seeing it.
Posted by: kntiopia | March 12, 2007 02:22 PM
WOW! Can't wait to see who you will do with the magazine.
Posted by: ruth | March 12, 2007 02:25 PM
Just want to add my congratulations. You will take the magazine (already my favorite) to new heights - can't wait to see what you do!
Posted by: Kim | March 12, 2007 02:27 PM
Congrats Eunny! I can't wait to see what you will turn the magazine into - it's already great, but whoa now!! With you at the helm it will be splendid!
Posted by: stephanie | March 12, 2007 02:31 PM
Huzzah, indeed! Let me be the bajillionth person to congratulate you on both the job and moving to Loveland. I miss it still. You must take the drive up the Thompson River gorge to Estes, preferably in a sporty 5-speed. One of the all-time greatest stress busters ever, and there's bound to be a little.
Posted by: Smuddpie | March 12, 2007 02:34 PM
Many congratulations to you! This is such wonderful news! Your blog is such a great source of knit-inspiration and information - can't wait to see what you will do with Interweave. Congrats again!

Posted by: Janice in GA | March 12, 2007 02:37 PM
This is a VERY GOOD thing. I'm looking forward to seeing what IK can accomplish with you at the wheel. I like your practical approach to knitting techniques, there isn't a sense of dumbing down or annoying cheerleading. You have an eye on the traditional, and I appreciate that about your designs.
Posted by: Kristi | March 12, 2007 02:42 PM
What a wonderful surprise! I just about fell out of my chair at that.
Congratulations!

Wow! Congratulations.
Posted by: Kay | March 12, 2007 03:03 PM
Congratulations, I can't wait to see what changes you will bring... which is good introduction to my suggestion. I emailed IK last year to ask if it's possible to know how much ease there is on the photo with the model, to better choose what size to make. I got the answer that it was too complicated. It would be really awesome if you could suggest it ;)
Congrats again, I'm sure the magazine will continue to evolve under your wing.
Posted by: Laurence | March 12, 2007 03:03 PM
WOW! Congratulations! Can't wait to see the freshness you bring to the publication (which I love dearly!)
Posted by: Amanda | March 12, 2007 03:05 PM
Wow, I'm stunned and thrilled. I've always enjoyed IK under Pam and if I could imagine anyone filling her shoes it would be you for sure. Big Big Congrats.
Posted by: Shannon | March 12, 2007 03:06 PM
Holy moly! Congrats! that is fantastic. I've been blog stalking you for ages and I think you are brilliant. That seals the deal for me - definitely renewing my subscription.
Posted by: Nancy | March 12, 2007 03:08 PM
Perfect! Talk about a win-win! I cancelled my subscription last year - looks like I'll have to re-up. Congratulations!
Posted by: Jan | March 12, 2007 03:11 PM
Eunny, let me add my voice to this cacophany: congratulations! While I'll miss Pam, it's going to be very exciting to see where you'll take the magazine.
Posted by: jodi | March 12, 2007 03:11 PM
Eunny, that is such wonderful news for you and for all the IK readers, too! Many, many, many congratulations!
Posted by: Katherine | March 12, 2007 03:12 PM
Oh, that is wonderful news. Congratulations and a heart-felt 'well-deserved!'
I have been reading your blog for months and you seem to be such a talented 'knitting gem' that I was baffled that you were making a living outside of the knitting world. Now that's changed and it seems so very very right.
Posted by: sue | March 12, 2007 03:13 PM
Thrilling! But until I read the press release I was imagining you in editorial offices and meetings, with piles of swatches on your desk. How does this work with telecommuting — do you still get to stroke the swatches?
Posted by: B. | March 12, 2007 03:17 PM
Congratulations, Eunny! How exciting for you.
Posted by: Michelle | March 12, 2007 03:21 PM
Pinch I must be dreaming. IK
is my favorite and I did not think it could get any better - I was wrong!
Posted by: tracey | March 12, 2007 03:25 PM
Wow!! How wonderful... I will chime in with the rest and say how amazing of an opportunity this is for you and the rest of the knitters out there! Congrats!!

How fantastic. I will for -sure renew my IK sub now. Cannot wait for your books and how great that you do not have to leave Rockville. (We are leaving from Great Falls to Seattle in about 2 weeks). Really- a huge Kudos on your new job.
Posted by: KT | March 12, 2007 03:41 PM
Oh my goodness! Congratulations! What a dream of a lifetime come true. I can't wait to hear more and read it in my favorite magazine, too!
Posted by: Amber A. | March 12, 2007 03:41 PM

Posted by: Sheila Mayhew | March 12, 2007 03:55 PM
I let my sub lapse a while ago because IK seemed to have gotten a bit... well... stale. How wrong can one woman be?
Posted by: Lucia | March 12, 2007 03:56 PM
I have to delurk to say: Oh wow! Congratulations!
Posted by: jen. | March 12, 2007 03:57 PM

What future awaits IK!

Eunnie, that's wonderful news. My favorite new designer and my favorite knitting magazine joined. Now if you could only publish all your patterns in the magazine, it would be sheer heaven. Elayne
Posted by: Elayne Hack | March 12, 2007 05:08 PM
Congratulations! I look forward to see you and and IK as a dynamic duo :)
Posted by: Isela | March 12, 2007 05:09 PM
Congratulations... what a perfect fit! I'm surprised, in that I didn't know in advance, and it's not every day you hear news like that about someone you "know", but that's where the surprise ends. You practically wrote the last issue single-handedly, so this sounds like a natural next step.
And how lucky for the knitting community, too, because knowing your high standards for the quality of the end product, I think the rest of us will come out the biggest winners in the end. YEA!
Posted by: Leisel | March 12, 2007 05:10 PM
Eunny: I'm a lurker--and nearly from your beginnings. Blown away by your expertise at such a young age. I get as others do that you are as big a Cinderella story as it comes. Only instead of a wave of magic wand, you worked your butt off. As a technical writer, who enjoys the astringent pleasures of difficult things explained well, I end my lurk and I raise a glass in your honor. Way to go, dear, way to go.
Posted by: MaryMR | March 12, 2007 05:11 PM
My favorite designer AND my favorite magazine. What could be better?
Posted by: Laura Bullins | March 12, 2007 05:21 PM

I don't think I've ever felt nerdier in my life than when I read this news and let out a little squee of joy! Congratulations, Eunny! I've read and enjoyed your blog for ages, mostly without posting, and it's wonderful to see you in such a perfect job! It's strange the way reading someone's blog lets you get to know them, and while it feels somewhat voyeuristic knowing someone who doesn't know you back, I've enjoyed everything I've ever read by you, and I'm grateful for the chance I've had to read your blog. Godspeed on this new path!

Oh congratulations! I have been an admirer of your work and this is great, great news. I love what you wrote about the tactile pleasures and permanence of the printed page - it is a happy thing to go through my back issues of Interweave. They couldn't have picked a better knitter for the job!
Posted by: Sonya | March 12, 2007 08:56 PM
I cannot imagine the excitement you must be experiencing, as you assume leadership of such a fine knitting journal.
I hope that you are empowered to bring your high standards to the job, every day. I look forward to seeing how your lovely aesthetic and streak of perfectionism influence the course on which you will guide Interweave Knits.

Posted by: Sherri | March 12, 2007 09:14 PM
I'm thrilled, as an IK contributor, fan of your designs and blog, and fellow blogger. I'm really looking forward to seeing the direction in which you'll take IK. Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Lee Ann | March 12, 2007 09:19 PM
Truly, congratulations. You do deserve it.
Posted by: Karida | March 12, 2007 09:23 PM
So glad to hear! I'm a devoted lurker here at your blog and look forward to IK under your leadership.
Posted by: gale (she shoots sheep shots) | March 12, 2007 09:26 PM
Many, many congratulations!
Interweave needs you, and I'm so glad you describe this as the dream job. You will be terrific. One warning: I am a magazine editor, and it's more work than I ever thought. It's also hugely rewarding, though. Brava!
I gave up on IK when I saw the redesign, but I am sure you will either a) bring it back to its old format--the one where you could actually learn something by reading the directions and looking at a fabulous photo at the same time, or b) introduce such tempting patterns that I will learn to live with a lousy layout.
Good on you.

Congratulations! I believe IK and you both have made an excellent decision! I so look forward to reading you there. Will you still maintain your blog?
Posted by: Carol | March 12, 2007 09:54 PM
Holy Cow! Almost 600 comments! Well, I'll just add my congrats to the burgeoning list. I've loved your blog - avidly following both your designs and your interpretations of other people's designs. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us as editor.

Posted by: Kristy | March 12, 2007 10:17 PM
Hmm perhaps I would disagree there, I have been know to sit up in bed with laptop etc while sick!! :) Altho as a subscriber to IK from the begining have to be honest and admit to prefering the hard copy. But one has to do something between issues you know.
So great congrats I look forward to enjoying your imput.
Cheers

Posted by: Suzanne | March 12, 2007 10:43 PM
Way to go in reaching that point where people pay you for doing what you love.
Now that you're in charge, I'm going to add my voice to others about not being taken with this new layout ;-P
