Crochet Garden

I am a single mom and a designer. My grandmother taught me the basic sc and chain stitch, as well as knitting when I was about 9 years old. She was strict, so I often drove her batty not wanting to succumb to her vigorous workout of monotonous stitching, and then making me rip each and every mistake. Instead, I would secretly “make up” my own stitches, and then go to her innocently and lay blame upon the yarn – it was not a good yarn! She was strict, and I can now only thank her for it.

The Crochet Garden began in the year 2005. I design full time to support my kids. I firmly believe, where there is a will, there is a way. First and foremost, one must be charged and have passion… Then, anything is possible.

At night…. the hooks come alive…

    I saw your Dragonfly Shawl online which was published in Interweave Crochet, Winter 2008. I am interested in crocheting this piece. Where can I find the instructions?

    Hello dear! That was in the Winter 2008 issue of Interweave Crochet :) I do have some Interweave Crochet magazines available here: http://www.crochetgarden.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=87_88

  3. Hi Lisa,
    Is there any possibility of the Fairytale Keepsake Dresses patterns being available again for purchase? I would really like to have these patterns so I could make them. Thank you. Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn,

    Right now it is under review. I am not sure if that particular pattern will be coming back. However, I am currently working on some in size 10 thread- keep an eye on the blog and the newsletter got updates to both!
