I made so many of these, I didn’t have enough room for them!
I became an amateur entrepreneur when I started selling my little bears in high school.
I enjoyed crocheting so much that I soon progressed to many other patterns. It became easier and easier with each new pattern I wrote. Soon there were frogs, bears, rabbits, mice, penguins, butterflies, smilies, and even dragons running around the school. My crocheted animals were (and still are) a huge hit!

In November 2005 I had a booth in a craft fair and sold over $160 worth of my crocheted animals in 2 days. It may not seem like I made much, but it was so exciting to see the face of a kid light up when they picked up a tiny pig or turtle!

A year later, November 2006, I went to the same craft show (though I did not have the time to have a booth this year) and met an incredibly helpful lady who inspired me to finally do what I had always wanted to do - create my own crochet website!

So here it is - I get to share my fantastical critters with the public. All the items and patterns you see on this site are my original creations.
I now have my own online shop through Lulu.com, so you can purchase my patterns in PDF format! Keep checking back, as I will be adding new patterns periodically.
There are plenty of free patterns for you to choose from as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
Enjoy your stay at Critters2Crochet!
