What exactly does that mean? Imagine taking your lovely crochet items and entering them in a fair for all to see… and a chance to win a prize! We thought it would be fun to sort of do an “on-line” Winter Crochet Festival where people can enter their latest projects, and you can do it all from the comfort of your home. Of course, there are prizes to win and those will be announced on the December 1st kickoff! You can read more about the details below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rules are simple and easy, so let’s get started.
Kathy and I hope you’ll get excited and finish up those fabulous projects! Be sure to take great photos too! Once the Crochet Winter Festival kicks off, Elk Studio and I will be here to help answer your questions!

Happy Crocheting… And stay tuned on December 1st for the party to begin!!

I am just a small town girl... well, woman! I was born and raised in Mt Shasta California and have raised my three children here in this mountain community. I have the pure joy of also having three beautiful grandchildren.. When I was 10 my grandmother taught me to crochet,,, A Granny Square patten was my first project. Her name was Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw, a tiny Irish powerhouse! All my memories include her crocheting... Tablecloths, slippers, doilies and blankets. As a young woman the bug got me,,, I began crocheting and haven't stopped! 50 years of experience and many beautiful projects under my belt.... Join me in this journey,,, passed down from generation to generation... keeping alive the skills and beauty of Crochet!
