Hey there! I just sent out the very 1st Craft Corps Weekly Newsletter announcing, among other things, that the Craft Corps Blog/Website is live–woohoo!
Subscribe now and you’ll meet a new crafter every week, have the opportunity to tell your own story (and be added to our links section), become eligible for future giveaways, and so much more.
I’m so thrilled to be a part of the craft world and hope you’ll join me in celebrating that community, by Joining the Craft Corps. Take a look at the website and discover some of the amazing men and women from around the world, who have been kind enough to give us a glimpse into their creative lives. Trust me, it’s hard not to be inspired by some of their stories–enjoy!
xo,
Vickie
P.S. The 1 year countdown until Craft Corps the book, (May ’10, Lark Books) has officially started. Stay tuned for more details!

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....
