TGIWeekend
I got my paws on the covers of the first four digest-sized books that will be launching my line of patterns. Did I tell you that they will be available August 1st? And as a bonus if you are attending the CGOA Chainlink conference in Buffalo, NY, the week of August 4th be sure to stop by the Leisure Arts booth where I will be having two book signings! I believe one is on Thursday night and the other is Saturday afternoon. Follow me on Twitter and I'll update at the show: The Crochet Dude on Twitter
Anywho, here is a sneak peek at the covers! (click each for a biggy view)

Judging by the covers, looks like your four new digest sized books are going to be awesome. I can't wait to get them and try the patterns!

Those pattern books look great. I'm especially interested in the one on bags, but all of them will probably be very popular.
