Check it out. Heather over at Dollar Store Crafts is having a wreath-making contest, and one of the prizes is a copy of Crocheted Gifts signed by me. I don't usually do holidays stuff, for all sorts of reasons. But anyway. This year I'm actually participating in a holidays thing. Sort of. So head over there, all y'all...

Image by kpwerker via Flickr After having so much fun interviewing Sister Diane on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, I'm excited to announce a Twitter event with several of the designers who contributed to my new book, Crocheted Gifts.
