Just a quick note to let you know that Crochet Adorned was reviewed on Whipup today– and they’re also giving away a copy! Reading the post made me smile inside, I’m so glad that the book is finally out in the world and people are enjoying it.

I had a book signing for Crochet Adorned at the Yarn Shop (where I also work) this Saturday and it was great! We had cupcakes, I demonstrated how to crochet a flower, sold some books, saw lots of friends, and got to hang all of my projects out for display.

This morning Paul and I headed over to KATU in Portland to do AM Northwest. It was a fun experience– I’ve never actually been on TV before, although I used to prepare people to go on TV when I worked at Newsweek. I showed off some of the book projects and taught Helen Raptis (the [...]
