Hi Fiona! I’m glad you’ve found my magic ring tutorial useful, but I can’t take the credit for the ‘Graduation Owl’ you made – it’s not one of my designs I hope you’ll enjoy my patterns too!

Hi June, I was looking for patterns and when I found your “Graduation Owl” I knew I had to make him. My friend whom I made ‘Oswold’ for has just finished the last room of her (circa) 1862 Villa she has been working on this project for 19 years so I had to make her something special to commemorate the occasion!! I also used your wonderful tutorial for the magic ring. Thank you for being kind enough to share your gift for design. I am also a crochet teacher, so I enjoy being able to help others to gain the confidence to try different things. I have been busy downloading patterns to save as my printer is on the fritz at the moment but boy watch those hooks fly when I get it fixed!!! Cheers Fiona

There is so much ugly, old-fashion crochet that gives the art a bad reputation. Thanks for fresh, unique and up-to-date ideas. You give crochet a better future!

Thank you so much for the Magic Ring tutorial after going through 10 different books at the library and banging my head on the desk finally finally finally it makes sense and my rings come out perfect everytime!

Thank you, Suzanne! It’s lovely to hear from you. I’m glad you’re finding my magic ring tutorial useful! It really is a useful technique, and very easy once you figure it out.

Most amigurumi-style patterns (single crocheted in a continuous spiral – including my flowers and other patterns) are quite simple – just make sure you use a stitch marker so that you can figure out where you were if you get distracted! I often crochet while I watch TV and the stitch marker can be a lifesaver

Hi June!

So excited to try flowers. I generally make blankets and scarves (so don’t have to follow a pattern ~ know how to read, but sometimes want to talk or watch tv, not count)! :0)
Anyway, I’m relatively inexperienced and yet I think I might be able to do this.

Initially came to your site through referral from Arianne Donaghue on Ravelry (“Skater Beanie” pattern instructions) to learn the “magic circle”. Have tried 2x and *almost* had it the 2nd time! Am sure will have it by end of day! Can’t wait as last week a beret turned into my own pattern for pastel Easter eggs! LOL!
Even they will look better! And so will my berets/tams/newsboy hats (once I find workable-for-me patterns).

I also look forward to exploring your blog & web site as I am also into a wide array of crafts! I’m thrilled you’ve found a way to combine your passions into a business! I wish you all the best!

Hi June

Thanks for all the tips and patterns, these are so good and clear. Just finished the whale in blue Lyscordet with a 1.75mm hook and just under 4.5cm long. Must be the smallest whale in the world!!!!!
Thanks again Sally
