Exciting News!!

[thecrochetdude]

I just signed a contract to write a full-length, full-color book of 30 crochet patterns! I'm so excited I had to share with my Crochetville family!!

 

Everything is due at the end of the summer and it will be available in '08. Stay tuned!!!

I just saw this thread. Congrats, Drew! I can't wait to pick it up at my local bookstore! :cheer:cheer

 

Thanks! I've had my first two meeting (by phone) with the assigned editor and we have settled on which 30 designs to include (my proposal had about 45) so it was cut cut cut and now I have to choose yarns and swatch and have all that on his desk by next Friday.

 

Careful what you wish for, right?
