Find Me On

Due to increasing production costs I regret to inform you that I have been forced to raise my prices from January 1st 2012.
However, the price of my patterns has always been extremely competitive and, despite the increase, remain so.

I started crocheting as a child, my Dad taught me. I was never very serious about it. I got back into it in my early 20's.  I had just bought a house, couldn’t afford to go out and needed something to occupy my evenings. I started getting requests for items I had made and, in an effort to make ends meet when the interest rates went sky high, decided to make items to sell.

I hadn’t even considered there would be a market for the patterns until I started getting requests for them. I was always good at just "making things up as I went along" and never thought of it as designing until I discovered the wonderful world of crochet online. I met a group of lovely ladies who encouraged me to write down my designs and sell them. Rainbow Afghan

My first pattern, the Rainbow Afghan, was a success and still remains my best seller.

Rainbows and Dreams jewellery crochet pattern

 

Although I usually design items for children, I have discovered the wonderful world of thread and tried my hand at designing jewellery.

Denim Delight

 

I also experimented with working directly into fabric to produce clothing.

Lacy Lingerie

 

More recently, I have been designing Lacy Lingerie in sizes up to a UK 22.

 

Pond Puppets crochet pattern


Of course, yarn is always my favourite and there are now a whole load of bright and cheerful puppet patterns to choose from.

Snakea and Ladders

 

As well as some brand new garden sized games!

 

I have an Yahoo group called Cwm Enfys Crochet.  There you will find some lovely ladies willing to help with your crochet problems, lots more pictures of my work and some free patterns.


There is also a UK Crochet Chat group on Yahoo!
