More About the Author

I was born and raised in Montana.

I have a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering.

I started crocheting at the age of 7, after my parents purchased a 'mystery box' at an auction. It contained a how to book of crochet, 3 hooks and some yarn. My mother said she could not crochet. So, of course, I worked and worked at it until I had mastered it. CHILDREN!

I live with my two Australian Shepherds, Sarah and Lucy in a grand old lady of a house. I love it!

I never heard anything about this book until I read that review of the book on about.com. I have never seen a pattern book that has 12 great designs before. That is amazing! What I don't understand is why they didn't put the best designs on the cover? The front cover should have had the Ivy League, Pink Fantasy, and Denim-looking cardigan. The book also has a surprising number of designs for boys. There are 6 designs that boys can wear. Basically there are 6 designs for girls only and the other 6 designs are really unisex. If you buy only one crochet book this year, make it this one.

My mom loves to crochet and to make things for my preschooler, but she's never ventured beyond scarves and afghans. The designs in this book are so cute and the instructions so clear that she will finally be able to make some sweaters! Hmmm...which one to ask for 1st? Now if I can only get her to consistently put her "made by.." tags on things.
