Welp, we're on TikTok now. For better or worse? Come say hi over there and let us know all the bookish and crafty accounts we should follow. We are, obvs, @ ninetenpub – www.tiktok.com/@ninetenpub

So many great questions... This one is aimed at knitters rather than designers, but am getting the sense there might be an interest in a more advanced book, that covers grading? ... Should I?

Folks, MATH FOR KNITTERS is listed as a pre-order at @microcosm.bsky.social because the reprint is making its way to their warehouses. They sold out of the first batch of books I sent them. A good challenge to face, and more books are on the move as I type this. Thanks for your patience!

I received Math For Knitters, by Kate Atherley, published by 9/10 Publications. It's a wonderful read and extremely helpful for knitters of all experiences! I love my collection of @kateatherley.bsky.social 's & @ninetenpub.bsky.social books & I encourage you to support this quality Canadian product

MATH FOR KNITTERS is out this week, and what a splash it is making, coming in at #5 on the Globe and Mail's Canadian Non-Fiction Bestseller List! Congratulations, bestselling author @kateatherley.bsky.social 🏅

Ditto this!

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. Honestly, I never in a million years imagined that this was something that might apply to me. I'm shocked and thrilled and amazed and most of grateful. So many thanks to @kpwerker.bsky.social and @ninetenpub.bsky.social for their support and hard work. ❤️

Y'ALL. However hard this year has been, I have TWICE in the last four months had the pleasure of texting one of our authors to let them know their book launched onto the Globe bestseller list. So much love to you, @kateatherley.bsky.social!!

I am 💀 HUGE congratulations to Globe bestselling author @kateatherley.bsky.social!! www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/133b5f1...

All Hallowe'en Greetings! (Public domain image from Toronto Reference Library. Arts department.)

There's been confusion (totally our fault!) about when MATH FOR KNITTERS, by @kateatherley.bsky.social will be available outside of Canada. The answer is NOW. Here's a pretty quick explanation about what happened, when you can get the book, and where (spoiler: SOON and EVERYWHERE.

Copies of MATH FOR KNITTERS are available through Modern Daily Knitting along with @kateatherley.bsky.social's class based on the book!

Our shipping carrier is anticipating delays at the border later this week due to changes in the U.S's tariff schedule. Coupled with uncertainty about trade talks between Canada and the U.S, we just don't know how long new direct shipments to U.S. readers will take to arrive. (More 👇)

In Episode 260, @knittingdaddy.bsky.social Greg, @pammaher.bsky.social Pam, and @kateatherley.bsky.social Kate discuss numbers, swatches, and risk tolerance. unravelingpodcast.com/260-2/ ⁠ #UnravelingPodcast #knitting #KnitCast #NCKnitters #NCPodCast #MathForKnitters cc: @ninetenpub.bsky.social

Does this mean the first batch of MATH FOR KNITTERS has a mistake? Yep, it does. Hopefully a relatively inconsequential one, but a misprint all the same. Honestly, we're thinking it'll maybe make this first run a collector's edition... (Have I mentioned the book's already in it's 2nd printing?)

That feeling when you discover a mistake too late to correct it, but it's not the actual book content. Pre-orders are shipping with a correction sticker!

Coming next week! Please support your local yarn shop or bookstore in Canada and the U.S! Americans, shipping is better from Microcosm. The book will also be available in the UK, EU, Australia and New Zealand for direct orders and wholesale, too – microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/book...

This looks like a really cool guide for knitters. It ended up in my feed and I had to read the book description to figure out if it was about actually knitting or it was a popular math book and using knitting as examples

A nice discussion about my new book, and numbers in knitting. Audio Episode: Cast On, Cast Back S01E01: Kate Atherley open.substack.com/pub/ashleigh...

Clarification – this is about arts funding. The Canada Book Fund does support non-fiction presses like Nine Ten (just not until we're established, which is of no help whatsoever when getting a new press off the ground).

Well this is delightful.

Mine just arrived!

The Canadian edition of THE MAGIC OF POCKETS is making its way into the world this week! Now we have no excuse but to free ourselves from having to ask our bepocketed friends to hold our phone—we will sew pockets into the clothes that, well, really should have them to begin with!

Something I absolutely needed this week we have a new book coming out is for my shipping platform to not let me upgrade my plan as I've maxed out the number of shipments of the original plan. Why is it so hard to give them my money? Apologies, pre-orderers. I'm trying!

A peek behind the scenes from the first photo shoot for A USER'S GUIDE TO YARN, by Michelle Boyd @spindleprincess.bsky.social, coming in 2026 📸. With huge gratitude to SweetGeorgia Yarns for graciously inviting us to use their studio and setup 🙏

Release of each of our three 2025 books has coincided with major shipping disruption. In February, QUILTING came in with the announcement of tariffs. In June, THE TRUE COST OF WOOL came in as we braced for a postal strike. Now, THE MAGIC OF POCKETS will ship during a postal strike. It is A LOT.

Such a fabulous BC book launch for THE TRUE COST OF WOOL, by @longwayhomestead.bsky.social! Thank you, Iron Dog Books for being amazing hosts and Baaad Anna's for staying open late, and to all the wool lovers and curious readers who came out!

Very excited that our books will be at the PNBA Fall Tradeshow in Spokane! Huge love to @everickert.bsky.social and Thornapple Press for inviting Nine Ten to share their table (#27!). (I won't be there myself, which makes me especially grateful for this arrangement.) www.pnba.org/2025-exhibit...

Want to know what's consuming my every waking moment right now? Facing a challenge I've always known I could face, hoped I would face, and having to deal with it RIGHT NOW even though it's very very hard. HOW MANY BOOKS SHOULD I PRINT Come along for the ride:

Every small-business owner facing massive uncertainty in a new product should have the good fortune to live with a business prof whose specialty is, among other things, demand planning and inventory management.

Any crafty US friends want to help a small press test their shipping options and get a free book? Lots of fibre-related books for #knitsky, #crochet, #weaving #felting and others!

Instead of making books, I spent the last week sorting out how to send books to the U.S. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think I've done it! So I set up a giveaway over on Instagram – we'll send a book to 3 U.S. addresses to test it out. Head over there and enter! www.instagram.com/p/DOMBfb1jQQk/

We’ve got an announcement to celebrate the first day of school: applications are open now for our Writers in the Classroom program, which will offer 13 FREE author visits to schools across Metro Vancouver between October to December 2025. Apply by Sept 30: writersfest.bc.ca/youth#writer...

Canadian small business folks: ChitChats is now offering CUSMA-compliance pre-clearance working with their customs brokers. Books are exempt from tariffs, but ours are also printed and bound in Canada on paper made in Canada or the U.S. I'm covering all my bases during this absolutely batshit time.

I can remember telling other kids that I would never use the Pythagorean theorem once I finished school and then I became a knitter.

brilliant! going to check it out. in other news, why are all my hobbies math-based when i can barely add?

I've gone and said the quiet parts out loud this Monday morning, for the publishing curious amongst you.

Summer is for hand sewing. As a change from EPP, today I learned two ways to darn socks! Thanks to @ninetenpub.bsky.social for the instruction book. Details in alt text #Mending #Sewing
