Answer
Hey, Lydia! Sorry for the delay, but I've been sooo busy! I should have this finished by tomorrow! I'm just going through the pattern, to the point where you can do the all the stitches, and you can take it from there. I really must get to bed now, as it's 3:15 am!

Best,  Bea

Expertise

I consider myself 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.

Education/Credentials
