I’ve been crocheting for about 7 years and love to make just about everything! I think stuffed animals are my favorites, mostly because I love to see the look on my boys’ faces when I show them my latest creation. My three boys are my inspiration for many of my patterns. I love to create new patterns, try new stitches and learn new techniques. Crochet is my favorite hobby because there is always something new to learn or do!
