Dying To Crochet murder mystery

[Bendy]

I wanted to let everyone know that I have a new crochet murder mystery book out called, Dying To Crochet.

http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?catalogid=25058

It is a crochet pattern book which contains a murder mystery story. It is written in a crochet along with the character style so that everything the main character crochets, the reader can crochet as well. There are 10 patterns in the book plus 2 stitch patterns.

The book is also available from amazon and barnesandnoble.

Hope everyone enjoys the book!

Thanks everyone. I am very excited about the book. And thank you for the compliment on the title. I liked the play on words too :)

[Shelleden]

There are 10 patterns in the book and two stitch patterns. 12 in all. The cover is a closeup photo of each of the 12 designs. 3 across by 4 down. Then they made all of the photos an eerie green. I am working on placing photos of the complete designs on a website, but it might be awhile. since I have no idea what I am doing.
The book starts with the main character learning how to crochet. So the book starts with beginner patterns which get progressively fancier.
The designs include: 3 preemie baby blankets, a baby hat, a scarf, a pet snuggle, a cabled hot pad, a cabled drawstring purse, an envelope purse, and a decorative egg.
The main character goes to a crochet convention so some of the designs are what she learns in the classes she takes.
Hope this helps in lue of photos.

Bendy, this book was so good! I loved the convention too! I can't wait to try that purse that looks knitted. When the book came, (it took 5 weeks) I read it in one sitting! I'm a voracious reader and you did an amazing job of keeping me interested. The flow was smooth, transitions and segues neat, and only 1 typo! Kudos!!

Do you have other books out? Are you planning to write another? WELL DONE!!!

(more books please?)

[Bendy]

HI,
