This just in! I’m going to be doing the very 1st Craft Corps book signing this weekend at the Renegade Craft Fair in Austin. Come on down and see me on Sunday at 1:00p at the Stitch Lab booth–don’t be late, because I’ll only have 25 copies to sell!
Oh but wait, there’s more! Everyone who buys Craft Corps there or brings me one to sign they’ve purchased elsewhere, will get a free ball of NaturallyCaron.com‘s Country or Spa yarn and the scarf pattern seen below (while supplies last). I’ll also have “Proud Craft Corps Member” buttons to give out! Can’t beat that, eh?
There were several Austinites either featured or profiled in Craft Corps and I know that at least a few of them will be at the fair, too. Look for Naughty Secretary Club’sJennifer Perkins, Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching and Average Jane Crafter, Rachel Hobson!
Don’t forget to swing by the Austin Craft Mafia booth, too! Hope to see you there!
Craft.Rock.Love,
Vickie
P.S. Please bring cash or check if you’re planning on buying a book from me as I won’t be able to run credit cards. Thanks!
Introducing: Our WORST sellers! 👎🏼 Get 50% off the things that made you go, “meh”. To see all of things, and maybe pick up something that you kinda liked, but didn’t FULL price like at YarnYAY.com (link in @vickiehowell bio.)...
It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
