A Little About Me...

I am a self-taught, left-handed crocheter.  Every pattern I’ve come across has always been for the right-handed person.  But, you can EASILY switch it around and ‘crochet left’.  

I am married to the love of my life whom I call Bear.

We have two kids. My oldest, who's nickname is Tweeter, is a diva in the making, my musical prodigy, and is on the autism spectrum. The more dance beats per measure, the better she jams. She is a leftie as well. Go figure.

My youngest, who's nickname is Moose[kers], is my short-tempered perfectionist that is ironically into everything messy and rough & tough. The more dirt the better.

My latest project. Beautiful cowl made with Holly & Ivy Dyeworks yarn set in ‘Anne of Green Gables’. This yarn is amazing. The pattern is amazing too and easy to work up. It only took me a few days of here and there to complete it.

I ALSO signed up for the Striped Afghan of the Month club!!

https://www.annieskitclubs.com/products/crochet-striped-afghan#craft=seaside

Get your first kit FREE (pay S+H+tax) !  I just ordered mine.  

(I do NOT get any compensation for posting this.  I am just really excited about this free month and don’t want my peeps so miss out!)

This kit works out so good for me since I have crochet ADHD and tend to jump from project to project without finishing.  Using this kit club, I only have certain blocks to make and can work on something else when I get finished with those.  No rush to hurry and finish.

Moroccan Market Tote

This great pattern by Tamara Kelly (mooglyblog.com) looks like a hard pattern to make, but its simply a V stitch.  You can easily make it a summer tote by using pastels or sea glass colors instead of jewel tones. http://www.mooglyblog.com/moroccan-market-tote/
