About me

I’m the former Managing Editor for Crochet 1-2-3 and Knit 1-2-3 magazines.  I’ve also done some editorial management for KnitSTYLE  and Happily Hoooked Crochet Magazines.  I’m a freelance crochet designer and editorial manager.

I’ve had designs published in Crochet World, Crochet! Magazine, Love of Crochet, Happily Hooked Crochet Magazine, Crochet 1-2-3 magazines, as well as some books and calendars. I’ve had several designs featured on the PBS television series Knit and Crochet Now and you can find my designs with yarn companies and catalogs including  Caron International, Herrschners, Mary Maxim, and Willow Yarns. When I’m not managing and designing, I enjoy teaching crochet classes at my LYS.

Even though I’m primarily a crocheter, I’m a multi-faceted crafter with experience knitting, crocheting, painting, drawing, sewing, scrapbooking, paper crafting, paper cutting, stained glass, macramé, cross-stitch, digital art, pixel art, latch hook, and probably more that I can’t even remember. I love all crafts!

I love a bargain, so expect to see “thrifty” as an ongoing theme.  I love to find values and up-cycle items.

Thanks for stopping by!
