I have always loved hand crafts. I learned these from my mother when I was very young. I never saw her use a pattern to make anything. She designed all her own creations whether it be knitting, crochet, tatting, needlework. A true artist! Lucky for me, I was interested enough in what she did to learn her skills.

The key to good design is and always has been, simplicity. Take a basic design and build on it. The type of yarn you use can turn a basic knitted scarf or tee into a work of art. There is such a gorgeous selection of yarns these days but many of these do carry a very high price tag.

An animal lover, I am opposed to using wool. It's just as well that I am allergic to it! I stay with cotton, linen or hemp or combinations. Do remember to try Bamboo yarn if you can! It's soft as silk and produces beautiful results.

Enough chatter. I will be adding patterns from time to time so check back periodically to see what's new. If you are looking for high profile stuff, you had better pick up a copy of Vogue Knitting. All my stuff is geared towards simplicity and easy to make so even the most inexperienced crafters will have no trouble.
