So Wrong, It's Right...

threadbaredcover.pngJust a quick shout-out to Threadbared, the new book by TypePad bloggers Kimberly Wrenn and Mary Watkins, which is a hilarious satirical send-up of off-kilter sewing and crafting patterns from the ’40s to the ’80s and beyond. Dedicated to all the readers of Threadbared.com, the book is a direct result of the blog that the two Georgia natives started a year-and-a-half ago, which quickly spawned a healthy community of die-hard followers.

To celebrate the release of the book, we’ve made Threadbared our TypePad Book of the Month, an honor that’s gone previously to Steven Johnson’s The Ghost Map, Shari Caudron’s Who Are You People?, and Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail. (Find ‘em all in the handy TypePad Bookstore.) Since we think their story is such a great example of passionate writers finding their niche, we’ve done both an interview and a podcast with the authors, and, for a limited time, we’re offering a free copy of the book to new TypePad customers who sign up with the referral code “CRAFTASTIC.” Check TypePad.com for all the details.
