Why do I do what I do?
I have always been "crafty". I love to paint, sew, knit, and cross stitch... but once I learned to crochet, I fell in love. When I took up crocheting in 2007, I immediately began making gifts for my friends, and made a stack of hats to donate to chemo centers. Shortly after that I began designing my own patterns, and I haven't looked back since.
How does my work differ from others of its genre?

How does my creative process work?
My creative process varies widely. Sometimes I'm inspired by something I see in a store, sometimes I'm inspired by a fun stitch, and sometimes I'm inspired by the color or texture of a cool yarn. I then work up a swatch or sample to see how I like it, then I begin making the item in different sizes. I always work up one of each size (if there are several sizes included) and I write the pattern as I go. Then I have the pattern tested, proofed, and edited by a group of reliable pattern testers. After all that, it's ready to go!
What am I working on now?
I have been knitting a Doctor Who scarf as a gift for a friend. That, and my job with Happily Hooked Magazine, have kept me quite busy. I also have a new cowl on my hook, but that won't be ready for a week or two. I have big plans for some Christmas gifts... guess I should get busy on those, too!
