I am a crochet fanatic, pure and simple. I am also an independent spirit. Which means that I don't follow the conventional route to anything. I love working with non-traditional fibers like paper raffia, hemps, nylon cords, and all kinds of cottons. My patterns run the gamut. But I particularly like designing fashion accessories and fashion toppers (which includes jackets, coats, sweaters, tops, tunics, and wraps of any nature). My design capabilities allow me to design patterns that are easy to follow for the more experienced crocheter AND beginners alike. I especially like to design finished products that do not look "homemade". I get a kick out of people asking, "Where did you get that?". And then I love the look of disbelief when I answer, "I made it myself." It's truly a wonderful experience to design or create ANYTHING. So, as you can see, I am not just a crochet fanatic. I am also a design fanatic. And I absolutely love it!
