The author is the chief instructor of the school, Judy Obee.
These articles contain several types of information:
-
a diary of the various projects that I have been working on
-
an explanation of any gotcha that I ran into
-
whatever additional information that I can provide that will help you to do your own needle arts projects successfully.
I specialize in teaching beginners, so there will be a lot of information for beginners, and even those who themselves are teaching beginners. But there will also be information for the more advanced Crocheter.
Occasionally, free patterns will be posted here. However, since I consider myself to be more of a teacher than a designer, there will be a greater emphasis on providing information.
Please click on any of the subject links below to dive into more detail. Enjoy these articles. And if you want to comment, or have questions, please email me.

Patterns

This is an original design for a Preemie Hat.
It was inspired by a Bernat pattern for a Preemie Hat (documented in the articles on How To Read Crochet Patterns ). This version is simpler to crochet, but uses decreases to shape the top.

This is an original design for a Rib Texture Scarf. It has a chain loop fringe on it.

This was a doily that my mother made for me recently from a pattern sheet she picked up at some store, because the pattern was named Crocus Doily, and she knows that I love crocuses - hence the name of my school. (I am writing this in February in Calgary, and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of crocuses on Nose Hill - this winter has seemed sooooo long.)
Because it is a commercial pattern, put out by the nice folks at Coats and Clark (who have a website loaded with free patterns), I was able to find the pattern on the Internet at the Coats and Clark website. If the link does not work for you, you can also download the pattern from here (right click on the link and do Save As to store it on your computer).
Note: the fact that the last couple of rows are done in blue thread is, as my mother put it, just because! The Coats and Clark pattern picture is all white.
