Chattering NeedlesDesigner
Sandy
London, Canada
I have been knitting and crocheting for many years. However, in the last couple of years I have taken a shine to crochet in the form of Facebook projects. My favourite designers are Helen Shrimpton and Dedri Uys. Both these ladies do some tremendous patterns and I have learned so much from Sophies Universe and the Mandela Madness CALS. With knitting, I have been working on toys that such a joy to make. When you finish one and take a look at it, it is truly inspirational. On occasion, I offer these items for sale through Etsy and Ravelry.
