How exciting to win a Flamie from The Crochet Awards! It’s incredibly humbling and exciting at the same time. When I began my journey a couple of years ago, I knew where I wanted to be but wasn’t sure how long it would take me. While I still am working towards a few goals, being recognized by The Crochet Awards is definitely one of those accomplishments that makes me proud to be in the crochet industry with other amazing crocheters!
There is NO WAY I could have won this award without the support of some amazing fans and testers. You (the crocheter) are motivation to keep pushing myself to create “the next best design”. The wonderful feedback and support is a testament to the heart of a crocheter. We are an overall generous, loving and giving community don’t you think? One thing that I love the most is that we “get” each other and our need to create and constantly have yarn in our hands! You can always go to my Facebook group or any other crochet group for that matter and find encouragement, suggestions, tips, or just atta girls (and guys)!
When I first saw that I was nominated….I was like…where is my picture? But I keep scanning the photo and realized The Crochet Awards decided to use a photo from my Ravelry page and it was a tester’s photo. Lori has become a great friend and wonderful tester. Her crochet is so beautiful which is why I added her photo to my page anyway. You can check out Lori on her Facebook page and if you want to do some crochet shopping, check out her Etsy Shop! Please stop by and tell her how fabulous she is for helping me and gracious that she allowed me to use her photo!
Again, thanks to all the judges for their nominations of my Wrapped in Warmth Shawl and to all the fans that voted for me! You all ROCK! Be sure to check out all the other winners too! Your voice and vote counts for each award given because while the judges make nominations, the fans can “write in” a designer they think deserves recognition!
In honor of winning this award, I’m doing a special promotion with the shawl and all my other paid patterns for 50% off until 03/28/2015 at 11:59 pm CST. No code is necessary. Click HERE to view all the patterns!

Thank you for the sale, Kathy. I bought the Summer Breeze hat pattern which I’d been eyeing for some time. Your patterns are really lovely.
