Expertise
I have over 15 years experience. I can help fellow left-handers with problems they may have adapting to patterns. I specialize in crochet top dish towels, dish cloths, and easy/intermediate afghan patterns. I have limited experience in doily making and novelty patterns. I can help with suggestions of color combinations, kinds/brands of yarn, gauges, and selling online. I have sold my products on eBay for over 4 years with great success and repeat customers. If I don't have the answer, I will try my best to find a credible source and answer for you.
Experience
Self-taught with 15 years active in the hobby. Have sold products in craft fairs and on eBay with much success. Make a lot of special orders as well. I am known throughout the Bear River Valley for my crochet top dish towels.
