Welcome, knitters & crocheters! Thanks for stopping by my shop.

I currently sell only my original knit and crochet patterns; they are available in .pdf format online & will be emailed to you within 48 hours of payment, though most often much sooner. I can also gift you the pattern via Ravelry if you prefer, just let me know.

Most of the time, because of my schedule, I am NOT available for custom orders, but it never hurts to ask! I do have a list of available crocheters who are familiar with my patterns who are available for custom orders - just PM me for a list.

Things about me & my design work:
I was published in a Lion Brand book, "Lion Brand Yarn: Just Socks: Favorite Patterns to Knit and Crochet (Paperback)", which you can see here: http://www.amazon.com/Lion-Brand-Yarn-Favorite-Patterns/dp/0307345955%3FSubscriptionId%3D1YZR91QYB6WCG3PM78G2%26tag%3Dravelry-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0307345955. My pattern is the Crocheted Striped Slipper Socks.

I was recently published in the Winter Issue of Crochetvolution, & have been previously published in two past issues:
Spring 2012 issue of Crochetvolution (http://crochetvolution.com/):
Snowdrop Shawl http://crochetvolution.com/spring-2012/snowdrop-shawl
Sunrise Slip Stitch Shawl http://crochetvolution.com/spring-2012/sunrise-slip-stitch-shawl

and the summer issue as well
Shallow Waters Shawl http://crochetvolution.com/summer-2012/shallow-waters-shawl

I've also had two crocheted baby sock patterns published online as well, one at the For the Love of Yarn online magazine, http://fortheloveofyarn.com/Issues/07Winter/patterns/winter07_babysocks.shtml.

The second pair was at the now defunct PT Yarn website (who used to distribute Opal sock yarn in the United States), http://web.archive.org/web/20070716181315/http://www.ptyarn.com/crochetsox.html.

I am a member of the Crochet Guild of America, & a certified knit & crochet teacher through the Craft Yarn Council.

Please note:
All of my patterns have been professionally tech edited & tested by at least 5 people, usually more like 7-8, by a wide range of skills from beginner to more advanced. My patterns are written in US terms & some have charts & / or a photo tutorial: this will be clearly stated in the pattern infomation.

As such, all patterns are to be considered FINAL sale... i.e. I will not refund your money after sending your pattern to you as there is really no way to "return" a pdf pattern.

That being said, if there are any problems or confusion whatsoever with any of the patterns, I would be more than happy to help walk you through it. Please just contact me.

I'm always happy to offer one of my more recent patterns for giveaway on your blog or website, along with a small review of the pattern, often with a coupon code for one or all of my patterns, & will most often donate a gift of a pattern to your crochet event. Please contact me for details.
