Some would say I am an obsessive crocheter. Very rarely am I seen without a crochet hook and my latest project either in my hands or tucked into my bag (ready to pull out at any spare moment I can get a few stitches in). I’ve been crocheting since I was seven and remember spending hours making my dolls’ clothes and accessories. Over the years I have made countless blankets and baby shawls for family and friends. I have especially loved designing and making a unique special blanket for each of my grandchildren. Many of my projects are inspired by the amazing talent of fellow crocheters who have pinned their creations on Pinterest. While I’ve made my own designs for years, I am currently beginning to write my own patterns.

One of the pleasures I gain from crocheting is sharing the skill and pleasure with others. I can also personally attest to the therapeutic and healing nature creating with hook and yarn.
