"Crochet is the new knitting!" Come celebrate the release of the book "SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet" from Quarry books. A standout book from a member of the new breed of crochet pattern designers determined to prove that crochet is not at all fuddy-duddy!
An excerpt from a recent review:
"Oh, how I love this book...To boot, the designs really are fabulous. Beyond the requisite scarves and wraps, it's the sweaters and tops that have me jacked up... This is the kind of fashion crochet I've been desperate to see."
-- from Kim Werker of CrochetMe.com
(see more review excerpts!)
The book signing and trunk show will be held at the Bonita Knitting Store at 4046 Bonita Road, Bonita, CA 91902 on July 15th, from 12 - 2pm. A knitting anc crochet clinic will be from 2 - 4pm.
*** FREE SweaterBabe.com pattern (knitting or crochet) coupon for every attendee! Knitters, Crocheters, and Kids all welcome! ***
The author, Katherine Lee, will be signing books and showing all of the samples from the book, including the fabulous flutter-sleeved top, macrame hip belt, flower-trim mohair tank, and more. If you've ever wanted to check out crochet, come and get inspired by the book's beautiful designs, which are a far cry from the granny square or victorian lace-like designs you have seen in the past.
Katherine lives in the Hollywood Hills, designing lots of gorgeous and fresh knitting and crochet patterns she sells through her online boutique, SweaterBabe.com.
She also teaches knitting and crochet through private and group classes here in Los Angeles and will be appearing as a Crochet Guest Expert on "Uncommon Threads," a new show airing on the DIY network this summer. Her website, SweaterBabe.com, is a great resource for knitters and crocheters alike, featuring the biggest and best online Yarn Shop Directory for the U.S. and Canada.
