AboutBea Harrell Expertise I consider my self an expert in the field of hand crochet. I have been crocheting for 45 years. I can answer most question on the differnt stitches, as well as the methods used to create speciality items. The art of crochet, after 2 decades of being out of fashion, is enjoying a modest come back. I want to help those newcomers looking for a little/lot of help to get started. Once they are comfortable with the process, they can relax & begin to create the heirlooms of tomorrow.
Experience
Experience in the art of crochet is 40 + years crocheting for myself, my family & occasionally doing commissioned work.

Answer Hey Carmen! I NEED TO KNOW SPECIFICALY WHERE YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SHORTHAND (TR CL,ECT.) MEANS, OR CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE A TREBLE CROCHET (TR) OR OTHER STITCH PROBLEMS, OR THE PATTERN ISN'T CLEAR(CROCHET AT BASE OF CH 3) ECT.
JUST LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP!
