I was taught to crochet at age 9 by my mother and I followed in the footsteps of my great aunt who crocheted elaborate bedspreads and dollies. I am a crochet artist because I love to use various yarn and cloth mediums to crochet unique item. I also teach children and adults to crochet so that the art of crochet is carried on to the next generation. I am on Facebook under Purple Butterfly Crochet Collection and my website is http://www.purplebutterflycrochetcollection.com. My online shop is at Artfire.
