I had the pleasure of meeting Erika and Monika during the TV taping a few weeks ago, and they're awesome. About the sweetest uber-cool people I've ever met. I wish I could be there to celebrate their new book. You'll have to tell me all about it!
Julie Holetz's New Book!
Hugs to Julie—CrochetMe.com designer and tech editor extraordinaire—whose second book, Uncommon Crochet, is coming out next month! I had the pleasure of receiving a galley of the book a few months ago, and I'll reiterate here what's now showing on the back of the book cover on Amazon:
In Uncommon Crochet, Julie Armstrong Holetz takes the simplest crochet to new heights with a totally contemporary approach, using unusual but easy-to-find materials to create gorgeous projects, and walking the reader through every step with clear instructions, beautiful photographs, and page upon page of inspiration. Her graceful navigation of structure, beauty, and technique is sure to spark every crocheter's imagination.
Congratulations, Julie!
