I forgot to mention here that I have embarked on a blog tour to promote Crafty Detour CSI: Most Wanted! The book is finally finished and I’m celebrating by giving away five free copies! At each stop of the tour the host will have one copy of the e-book to giveaway as well as an interview with yours truly.
Here are the stops: (the first one was today!)

Copied from the Crafty Detour site:

The Details:
- Challenge will run from September 1st to November 1st.
- Post your finished entry in the Crafty Detour Ravelry Group or on the Challenge page. Be sure to mark it as an entry by using the following form:
- Name:
- New Technique Learned:
- Outcome: (put text here: why did you want to learn this? did you have fun? post a picture)
- Prizes will be randomly drawn after the deadline.
- The more participants, the more prizes that will be available.
- Possible prize contents: yarn, notions, books, fiber, etc.
- The point of this is to challenge YOURSELF to learn something new and to HAVE FUN!
Again, feel free to post your progress/discussions/pleas for help/help for others in either of the two locations linked above. In Ravelry I will make a separate discussion thread and final entry thread.

For many today is the day – Back to School!
Learning is fun, and so Ida and I have launched a new “project” over on Crafty Detour! It’s called Back to School CHALLENGE. Basically we are challenging YOU to challenge yourself. Learn a new knitting/crochet technique. Something you might have been afraid to try, or just haven’t gotten around to yet. Post your progress on the Crafty Detour page, or in the Ravelry group. Get support from your fellow learners and be entered to win some fabulous prizes!

More details to come soon – How long does this last? What are the prizes? etc.

It’s official! Crafty Detour has announced CSI: Criminal Sock Investigations!

This is a not-a-club club which will span 10 months with one pattern a month. Patterns are available all at once (for a discounted price) as an e-book (patterns are added to the book monthly) or for those that don’t like surprises, individually.
Patterns will be hosted via Ravelry, but you don’t need a Ravelry account to participate! However, if you do have a Ravelry account, we have started a Crafty Detour group which will house discussions, project sharing, and all that fun stuff.
