Hi! My name is Elena! I am just a small town girl… well, woman! I was born and raised in Mt Shasta California and have raised my three children here in this mountain community. I have the pure joy of also having two beautiful grandchildren.. When I was 10 my grandmother taught me to crochet,,, A Granny Square pattern was my first project. Her name was Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw, a tiny Irish powerhouse! All my memories include her crocheting… Tablecloths, slippers, doilies and blankets. As a young woman the bug got me,,, I began crocheting and haven’t stopped! 40 years of experience and many beautiful projects under my belt…. Join me in this journey,,, passed down from generation to generation… keeping alive the skills and beauty of Crochet!

Hi, I’m Maria – wife, mother, favorite aunt, and oh yes, crochet lover! I’ve been crocheting since I was about 10 and designing/writing patterns since 2012. I design all types of patterns, however, my favorites are baby and kids apparel. I am mostly self-taught. I read, research and play with techniques until I get them right. I love that splendid feel when you take yarn and a hook to create something wearable or decorative!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I’ve been crocheting for almost 10 years. My mom and grandma tried to teach me when I was young. I just never could remember how! About 10 yrs ago I moved in with my mom when she had multiple surgeries to help care for her and my grandma. They taught me again and then my grandma showed me how to do HER version of the corner to corner afghan. I quickly got bored with this small sampling. So I bought a book that had 63 blocks filled with different stitches and I taught myself to read patterns!!!
A couple of years ago, I started having people ask for “cute” animal and character hats. I discovered Heidi from Snappy Tots…. And my knowledge and understanding exploded!!! It has changed my life and given me a personal therapy of sorts! The best thing… All the totally awesome friends I have met! The chance to help others grow in this art! The joy that crochet gives so many! Not only those that do it… Those that receive and treasure that one of a kind work of art!!!!

Hi! My name is Becky, AKA “Grammy Dirlam”. I’m a Mom to 6, grammy to 6, with a 7th due in early May. My grandmother taught me to crochet as a child to help keep me calm on summer visits, and I must say it worked well. Over the years, I started to explore the stitch combinations which were always so fun. I Love making things for people.
About 3 years ago, my husband and I gave up our adult care home and moved from the Seattle area to Eden, North Carolina. It has been a process but we settled in, and now I eat sleep and breathe the crochet world. I design, write patterns and have recently added blogging to the list of activities. I would not trade the connections I have made for anything because there is so much potential for growth and learning. Each day is a new beginning so what do we start today?

I am a mom and grandma (1 each) and un-officially a live-in with my 102 year old grandfather. I learned to crochet from a YouTube video (Thanks, Emi) in July 2012 because I wanted a hat for a photo shoot. I was “hooked”. I made hats first and moved to dishcloths, sweaters, and toys. I started my business “Stew-art Creations” November 2012. I set up my shop at local farmers markets and craft shows almost every week-end. I love the opportuntiy to interact with my customers, and I can’t imagine a day without crochet.
