New techniques are fun to learn and pretty easy, once you have the right tools! I write books that are specifically focused on teaching you, the crocheter, how to learn that new technique and how to apply it to your every day crafting experience.
A craft richly steeped in history and tradition, punch needle is changing the global craft landscape so quickly, it’s hard to miss. Whereas some crafts take much time and expertise to master, you can pick up a punch needle and complete a project in less than an hour, with no prior skill needed. It requires just one easy-to-use tool, a background fabric, an embroidery hoop or frame, and yarn. Punched pieces make excellent wall hangings, pillows, ornaments, stool covers, chair cushions, purses/pouches, baby play mats, and much more! If you can imagine it – you can do it.
Simple and easy, punch needle is an approach to creating personal and home décor projects that just require you know how to hold a pen. It’s like paint by number…with yarn!

Written in 2015 after a class on crochet shawls, Crochet Lacy Shawls was the book that almost wasn’t. After a short hiatus the book was published in 2018.
An eye-catching, delicate shawl brightens up any look, and because the pieces are crocheted, they work up quickly, so you’ll be enjoying your new shawls before you know it. A variety of construction methods are explored in the 27 patterns, and each style of shawl includes a beginner, intermediate, and advanced pattern, so you can easily find a pattern that suits your skills and then build upon what you learn. Try a basic pi shawl, triangle shawl, stole, or poncho, then try the same construction with a more advanced stitch pattern in the intermediate or advanced pattern to enhance your skills.
You’ll have a wide array of gorgeous shawls in no time!
Modern patterns with a retro vibe, these pieces are always in style!
