Welcome to the first issue of Potter Craft News! This is a monthly e-newsletter devoted to new books, sample patterns, author tour information, and projects made by our readers, as well as opportunities to win free stuff.

Potter Craft is a new book publisher completely devoted to all the wonderful things we can make with our hands. In the beginning our books will focus primarily on knitting, crocheting, sewing, and other needle arts, but as our list grows, so too will our categories.

This month we kick off with highlights from Potter Craft's inaugural season. Vintage knitting patterns, beading projects, and appliqué ideas will inspire you to experiment with new techniques and styles.

In future issues, we'll introduce even more Potter Craft authors—experts who will share new ideas, fresh inspiration, and design secrets (and shortcuts) with you.

So stay with us, tell a friend, and start something new—this is going to be fun!
