Announcement
A Made to Order option is available in most of the listings you find in my shop. Made to Order can be any colors or sizes you wish. Communication is essential before it can be created for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. Most Made to Order afghans take 2 and a half weeks to 3 weeks to complete.
*Please note that "Made to Order" means changes LIKE different color choices or smaller or larger size of an existing listed item. Changing the size or type of yarn you want used will most likely be an increase in the listed price.
If you need something specially made that is not in my listings, (other than clothing) just message me and we can talk. I do not do clothing other than shawls/wraps/scarves. Thank you for viewing my shop. Any questions or concerns please message me.

5 out of 5 starsI had a wonderful experience with Penny and the item is exactly what I wanted. She helped me pick out the exact shades I wanted for my blanket and it looks gorgeous as a result! I’m thinking of getting another one of her blankets for my Mother for her birthday I love it so much!

5 out of 5 starsPenny IS why I came to Etsy. I wanted this bag with a couple of particular dimensions, and she made it happen. In a world where little personalized shops are becoming so very difficult to find, here hers stands. She provided me information from our initial conversation---,and never failed to show updates of my bag's progress. I could go on and on about my wonderful experience with her, but simply put, she told me from the onset she thought she could help me make what I was envisioning from a couple of photos. Penny did not lie.------- The finished piece is exactly as I wanted it. My thanks and applause. Bravo.

5 out of 5 starsPenny was a delight to work with, and her gorgeous blanket is exactly as I hoped! She was communicative throughout every step of the process, and sent multiple in-process shots. She also advised when a design idea that I had wasn't working out, and suggested alternatives. The finished blanket was washed before being securely mailed, and she also included washing instructions for in the future.
Not only is the finished blanket gorgeous, it's also soft and thick - perfect for chilly nights. This is shown on a king sized bed, to give you a sense of the size. I'm so glad I found Penny, with her years of experience and skill, to create this wonderful blanket. -

5 out of 5 starsIf I could post this review with 20 stars it would not do justice to Penny’s work. This afghan is so lovely I hate to say I can’t use it! I have it draped over my upstairs railing so I can just look at it and touch it. Thank you, Penny. I just love it!

5 out of 5 starsThis afghan is so soft and perfect it’s hard to believe it’s hand-made! Shipping was amazingly fast and the seller communicated with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy. Honestly, quality and service like this is rare. Customer forever!! Oh, and I got the sweetest matching coasters as a gift! Very happy! I will treasure this for years to come.

*Note from Designer...My Passion is Creating Handmade Crochet Afghans
My name is Penny and my whole life has been about creating things that are beautiful and unique. Now I have retired not only from the 9 to 5 J.O.B. but from freelance writing. I have written my book and now have the amazing gift of time to create my pastel paintings and crochet items.
Amy Gould is the shop owner and I do most of the crochet items. Having been an avid crocheter for over 60 years makes it possible to create my own patterns for crochet squares, afghans, purses, kitchen towel hangers, ornament covers and more. My main joy is creating afghans. So this has become the main focus of Amy's Shop. Over the next year you will see new designs and more of the most popular afghans. Amy handles the business end of the shop and I handle the design work. Amy helps with layout of new patterns pieces and lends an objective eye to final designs.
This shop exists to make you unique and beautiful handmade crochet items that will brighten your decor and hopefully make you smile.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Start a conversation and we an discuss your special needs. I try to accommodate and do aim to please. Every once in a while it is just not possible to provide exactly what you might want but that rarely happens. Let's talk.
Sizing details
If you should need one of my items in a large size, in most cases it will be possible but will take additional yarn and time. This may, in some instances, involve a slightly higher price. Let's talk.
Care instructions
I use good quality yarn that is mostly acrylic so washing is usually not a problem. I do advise that using a gentle cycle and low setting on the dryer will insure a very long lasting crochet item.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I use to provide this service for a minimal additional cost but it is discontinued until I can find better wrapping paper. If this is a really important concern for you, we can talk and figure it out.
