About Bea 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, Pat! Though I have never done this, my mother-in-law used to edge her filet work with a row of dc's and put her initials,one on each of 3 dc, on the back of her work. She did fantastic embroidery work, so she used those skills and a needle & thread to do it. I'm no good at sewing of any kind, so I could never do it! Other than that, I've never heard of a way to do that. I once had the idea to crochet a little tag of 2 rows of dc's and attach it to my work, and sign it with a waterproof pen, but I never did it, though I still think it would work! Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Best, Bea
