In the winter, when I can no longer garden, I spend my free time crocheting or knitting. I write crochet patterns and instructions for those who are new to crochet. These patterns contain no abbreviations, making them easier for the beginner to follow.  The patterns are listed below, or check out my crochet blog, "Crochet Weekly."

I learned to loom knit several years ago and love experimenting with ways to make various knitting stitches on a Knifty Knitter loom. You can find many patterns for loom knitting below as well, or check out my loom knitting blog, "Knifty Knitter Weekly."
