Calling all crafters! Knitty Gritty host Vickie Howell is working on a new book, Craft Corps, and in it she wants to feature everyday crafters just like you. In Vickie's own words:

As part of the content, I’m hoping to include 50-60 short profiles of crafters of all types. If you knit, crochet, embroider, decoupage, paint, sew, bead, tat, work with ceramics, collage, etc. --- I want to hear from you! Whether you’ve found success selling your handmade sock monkeys on Etsy or you crochet chemo caps for charity, I want to know who you are, what you craft and why you do it. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL CRAFTERS (in fact, it's preferable as the book's other content will focus on that)!

Visit Vickie's blog for the full details and to submit your info. But hurry, the deadline is August 15!

While you're on Vickie's site, be sure to check out some of her rockin' free patterns, like this lovely crocheted Fleur D'Ease Scarf or these Drinkie-Poo Can Wraps.
