I could not have imagined a better day! Skeins on Main hosted a beautiful party for the Crochet Me Book Event: flowers, hors d'oeuvrers, champange punch and ambience. Interweave Press sent us a beautiful and delicious cookie with an edible photo of the book cover. And we had many wonderful, sweet and enthusiastic crocheters in attendance.

It was an open house setting, so people came and went all day. The party started at 1:00pm and we had a nice crowd from the beginning. We had a champagne toast right away and the party had begun! I talked about Kim Werker's website from creation to completion (CrochetMe.com), and her vision for the book. I explained how the book came about, and then went on to explain how I designed my contribution. While I didn't have the sample garment from the book, I brought along my swatch which really helped everyone appreciate the luxurious hand of the Tilli Tomas silks and sequins.

I signed a lot of book, and enjoyed it very much. Later on, we cut the cookie and sampled it: delicious! We talked about crochet (of course!) and some people had questions. One person even asked for a demonstration of some stitching techniques, and I happily obliged.

I was signing books up until we locked the doors at 4:00pm. We had people from around the corner, and even some people who drove over an hour to come. I want to thank each and every one that came to share in our celebration today. I appreciate your time and effort to join us. Now, don't be shy - send me the photos of your Crochet Me garments and I'll start a new photo gallery here on the website. And a special thank you to Kim, Jaime, John, Dhurat and Kristine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
