Vicki Howell – knitter, crocheter, writer, tv-star, etc – is looking for a few more good crafters. Her next book is called Craft Corps, and it will focus on the crafting community. So she needs people like you (and maybe me) from the community to be part of this new text:
Calling all crafters! I’m gearing up to write my next book, Craft Corps (pronounced Craft Core) which will focus on the community perpetuated by craft and the designers & hobbyists who feed it. As part of the content, I’m hoping to include 50-60 short profiles of crafters of all types. If you knit, crochet, embroider, decoupage, paint, sew, bead, tat, work with ceramics, collage, etc.—I want to hear from you! Whether you’ve found success selling your handmade sock monkeys on Etsy or you crochet chemo caps for charity, I want to know who you are, what you craft and why you do it. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL CRAFTERS (in fact, it’s preferable as the book’s other content will focus on that)!
To find out more about her Call for Crafters and how you may be selected to join the fun, read the rest of her blog post “Join the Craft Corps!” Her deadline for entries is just a few weeks away, so don’t wait to think about too long. Heck, just do it. All she can do is say, “thanks but no thanks,” right?
