CAL = Crochet Along

There is a crochet along happening on ravelry that is using the Snow Queen as the pattern if any one is interested in joining it go to the first link above.

I did not start it but I was invited to join the group. Will be fun to see how many different yarns and threads are used in this. Please feel free to join in the fun.

Designed the costumes for the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
Made and worked on over 220 items for this production in less than two weeks.

The last few Days of December the snow queen pattern on Ravelry was rated number one it had been in the top 20 for a majority of that month
November 2010 The pattern that was featured in the September issue of Crochet (see below) is now featured for free on their site.
