The book! The book!
Our book is out! Cecily and I worked our butts off for nearly a year, and now the book is out. And our fabulous friends at Wiley are offering a 15% discount if you order directly from them (the discount will be applied automatically upon checkout. If you don't see the discount being applied, enter code aff15 in the Promotion Code field and click the Apply Discount button). Wheee!
The only thing is, I haven't seen it yet. My advance copies are MIA, probably stuck at the border. Cecily got hers last week. My mom phoned me yesterday from New York to say she got the copy she ordered from Powell's. Dude. Ok. That's it for my whining. If Mr. DHL doesn't deliver today I'm going to drive to Washington State to buy a copy. I'm impatient, and I'm not afraid to admit it.
I hope you love the book!
**Updated** I got my books! So now instead of driving to Bellingham, we're going out to celebrate. Rock on!

congratulations! i'm very proud of you! that's awesome.i'm definitely going to have to get it.
Wahoo! Congratulations! :)
i went to a B&N today and they didn't have it:(
Congrats!! :)Hey, it is about time someone has come up with a teach yourself how to crochet book that doesn't date back to the 70's/early 80's. Even though I already know how to crochet I will be looking for it in stores so I can refer friends who are interested in learning.
that's awesome kim! will it be sold up here at all?

I ordered mine a few minutes ago. Congrats to you both!
You are BRILLIANT! congrats to you both!
Your comments are makin' me even more excited! Thank you!Jana -- You bet it'll be up here! I know for sure Chapters is going to carry it (any day now, they tell me...), and Wiley ships to Canada from Canada, so don't hesitate to order online, either. :)
Many congrats to Cecily and Kim :)I got an up-close perspective of the sweat and tears that went into this endeavour and it's cool to see the past year's craziness bear such lovely fruit. If these two can teach a bozo like me crochet under the influence of snow-fever, I am confident the book will help create many a yarn addict ... erm I mean adept ... advocate?
Proud crochetmeMom is still on a high two days after receiving my copy! Everyone who has seen - and crochetDad and I have thrown it into every hand that we know - is very impressed by the clarity of the written directions and accompanying photos. Way to go, Kim and Cecily!!!
Congratulations! I want to buy my cousins a book to teach them, and this will be it! (I think my Mom needs a little visual help, too.) Very excited for you!
Way to go, crochet-rockstar! So proud of you. Great to see you at the impromptu launch party last night.
Congrats! How exciting!
Kim,Thats what brothers are for.
yay! how exciting for you! my local bookstore is supposed to call me when they get it in --- impatiently waiting......
Many kudos! I'm happy for you!
Congratulations on your much deserved success. I shall look for it at my local book store this weekend. So happy for you.

Congrats Kim!!! I will get a copy. I'll also ask my LYS to stock some too.
Hey there! Congrats! Last week I found the pattern for the ballet wrap and I can't wait to make it. Today I bought a mag called FamilyCircle Easy Crochet and they had mentioned this site!
Hi! I am 99.9% sure I saw your book last night at a Bookstar (Barnes & Noble) on Ventura Blvd. in Van Nuys, CA. Sorry I didn't buy it but I didn't realize it was yours, and I was looking for something else! But next time I will definitely pick up a copy! :-)
DH and I walked over to our local B&N last night and I saw your book! I love how easy it is to follow. . . I'm going to put it on my wish list because you explain a few techniques in there that I have not yet had the pleasure of trying. Congratulations!
Three cheers for Kim! I haven't seen your book, but I'm using the knitting book from that series to teach myself to knit (as if I needed any more reasons to buy yarn . . . ) and it's been great, so I'm sure yours is fantastic! I'll be sure to recommend this to people who've asked me to teach them to crochet, since I am not much of a teacher. :)
[...] In the interest of shamelessly promoting book sales, this is even more reason to take advantage of Wiley’s offer. [...]
[...] I just discovered that Kim Werker, the editor of Crochet Me, a fab online crochet magazine, has come out with a new book: Teach Yourself Visually: Crocheting. I am going to recommend this to you sight unseen for two reasons: [...]
Yay Kim, I'm so happy for you. Follow my suggestion and get a picture of yourself holding your book at the local bookstore yet?I can't believe you haven't gotten into your car to buy the book yet or rose hell with your publisher.I also just bought it off your website link to Wiley so will be getting it sometime next week! :)
Congrats! Hard work pays off!
Thank you!!!Nope, Dave, I still haven't seen it! Bookstores here in Vancouver don't have it on shelves yet. But no fear! I've got on on hold at the BN in Bellingham, WA, and I'll drive down tonight to get it if my delivery doesn't arrive this afternoon. It's not the publisher's fault, but thanks for lookin' out for me, bro!
Congratulations!!! I'm thrilled for you. :)
Awesome Kim! I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy. Congrats. :)
