First rejection

Last weekend I learned that Knitty didn't want the Michelin Man sock. They said it was a lot of fun, but not for them. Seems I remember doing this when I was trying to get a novel published...a pleasant little note that gives as little feedback as possible. They liked it, I think. Was the whole idea too simple? Was it something technical, like the guage being too loose? Was the pattern badly written? Were the photographs boring? I may never know.

Fortunately I have a couple more patterns in the works...the Viking Formal stocking and the Miz Marple jacket. That Simply Soft acrylic looks shinier all the time, but it will be good for making a prototype. Then I'll knit it up in alpaca or something that fits the modern trend for luxury yarns.

As for the Michelin Man... Chiagu? Will the public actually pay for such a simple pattern? I think I'll just mosey on over there and check them out.
