How to knit or crochet smart? Just remember, the most glamorous and festive garments are made with basic techniques. You do not necessarily need to follow someone else's instructions. Design your own project.
It is not as difficult as it seems. That's what this site is all about. Something tells me that you are interested in these subjects. You are not alone. There are a lot of us who feel the same way.
See? You are in a good company!
Why have I designed this site? Here is the story. I have always loved crafting. I started to learn how to knit, to crochet and to sew all at the same time. This "young talent" was about 9 years of age. My Mom was very kind to me. She never scolded me for all those fabrics which were cut during my sewing experiments. She realized, that practice is the only way to learn something. My Mom was right.
For many years I have made clothes for myself and others - everything from skirts to coats. And, of course, my crochet hooks and knitting needles always accompanied me - sweaters and scarves, socks and hats, lace shawls and pullovers, toys and doilies.
Perhaps everyone has a day when she/he realizes that it is the time to share with people all available "treasures". Today my time has come. Through out the years I've used different techniques for my projects, accumulated a list of books and notes, which I hope will benefit you.
It is a "HOW-TO-DO" information site. To use this information you don't need to be a very skilled master. Most of the glamorous and festive projects can be made with the simplest possible patterns and basic techniques.
