Tell me a little bit about The Left-Handed Crocheter.I learned how to crochet when I was a teenager, which wasn't easy because I didn't know any other left-handed people. I had a right-handed friend who was finally able to teach me by having me sit across from her and copy what she did. When my kids were young, I didn't have much time for it. Now that they're older, it's much easier for me to focus on crochet. I absolutely love designing something new, even when it's frustrating me and I have to set it aside for awhile. I have two kiddos under six. It is definitely a challenge to find time for everything! I am glad you stuck with it and have found the time to design because you create some of the cutest stuff!

My inspiration comes from a lot of different places. Other designers, video games that I play (Animal Crossing is a big one), my kids and grand kids. And stickers. I love looking at the stickers at Michaels because they often inspire me to create. Any time I lose my crojo, I go and wander the aisles of Michaels.
