“Every piece I make has a little part of you in it. I incorporate my love, passion and purpose into every stitch, every hook, every knitting pattern to bring life to my own unique creation, to be given as a gift come Christmas and Birthdays, integrating your favorite colors, remembering your needs, thinking of your personality and putting in a little bit of childhood memories into the finished crochet-knitting master piece.”

I have placed below some of the things you might want to learn, below are variations of each sample stitching pattern.
