Crochet/Expert Profile
Expertise
Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.
Experience in the area
I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.
Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
