I've been designing trendy crochet wearables for 5 yrs now. I am the author of the books Positively Crochet!, Crochet That Fits, (voted "Best Crochet Pattern Book of 2008"), Crochet in Style and Crochet Young & Trendy. I've had designs published in various magazines such as Crochet Today, Crochet! magazine, Hooked on Crochet, Fifth Avenue magazine, and other books such as Kim Werker's Get Hooked Again, Vickie Howell's Pop Goes Crochet, Top It Off, Hooks Only Crochet, Big Hooks Crochet, Jackets Wraps & More, Luxury Yarns One Skein Wonders, 2008,2009,2010 Crochet Calenders, & Crochet Belts from the Hip-Straight from Today's Designers. I've been crocheting for 40 yrs and am passionate about designing. It's the most fun job! I will also be appearing on the Knit and Crochet Now TV show (host Brett Bara on a PBS station) sometime this year (2010) so please watch for it. I love hearing from fans of my designs and seeing what they have made!
