My Pattern Has Been Published!

I am so excited! Today my issue of Crochet World arrived and I’m in it - woot!



I had sent this pattern in last fall for their pattern of the month contest. It wasn’t chosen for the contest, but the editor contacted me and told me they would like to publish it. Since their editorial schedule had been filled last winter, she told me it would be published this fall. Seems like it took FOREVER, but here it is and I couldn’t be happier.



And it’s so much fun to see my name in print.



And I also have the pleasure of being included as a designer on the Crochet World website:

I really loved making this scarf, and designing patterns is my passion. I’m so glad that I get to share this pattern with so many wonderful crocheters!
