Crochet Me Wins PubWest Book Design Award

April 30, 2008
By Kim Werker


Congratulations to Karla Baker and all those involved in designing Crochet Me for winning Bronze in the How-to Book/Crafts category of the 2008 PubWest Book Design Awards! Karla’s books (Felt Forward and Knitting Little Luxuries [both also from Interweave Press]) won gold and silver, respectively, too.

As consumers, we all know how dramatically we can be swayed by the way a book looks—its cover and also its pages. After working on the plain text manuscript of Crochet Me for months and months, I cried when I saw the first proofs of the designed book. My editor, Tricia, and Karla perfectly captured visually everything I worked so hard for my words to convey. I’m so glad they’re getting official recognition for their efforts.

Help me raise $3000 to support pancreatic cancer research! This damn disease is my family's kryptonite, but our collective superpowers can help thwart its evil blight.
