Author and knit vixen extraordinaire, Vickie Howell wants you: Calling all crafters! I’m gearing up to write my next book, Craft Corps which will focus on the community perpetuated by craft and the designers & hobbyists who feed it. 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!

Stop by Vickie's blog for details. And for a bit of spoofy fun, check out her tongue-in-cheek good knitter, gone bad video.
