I am strictly a crocheter. Is that even a word?? Actually as I look around I seem to be a lazy crocheter. I hate weaving in the ends so I tend to make simple blankets.

Hello, Patti!
Nice to meet you!
Could you share some of your work with us, please
I enjoy making outerwear that is wearable art.
These are a few of my pieces of work. These pieces take me anywhere between 2-4 months to make, and I do work on them continually.
As I'm creating them sometimes the pieces direct me rather than me directing it/the design.
Your works are amazing!
Thank you so much!

Stunningly beautiful work! Congratulations on your creativity, your tenacity, and your bravery! I've been crocheting since I was probably about 10, (I'm 66 now!) but I have never reached your level of expertise!
Wow! Those are very kind words.
I've been crocheting since I was 39 (I was diagnosed with RA and my mom taught me how to do a sc, that's all she knew) I am 70 now. I've only started doing this kind of crocheting for about 5-6 yrs. now. A co-worker brought in a picture of a very simple poncho and it hit me that I could do that, and from there I realized/figured out how to do sleeves. I was pretty much like everyone else, making scarves, blankets. I never even made hats.
So I don't think its how long one has been crocheting, it's more like how long has one allowed their imagination be free. I'm still learning, I'm learning with every project I do because I challenge myself continually.
This was my first attempt at a plaid. I wouldn't do this kind of stitch again, because I've learned a pretty way, I think, but it's all just a process.
Thank you so much, again, for your very kind words. You can see more of my work on my site in FB, The Downstairs Attic.
You say you are a lazy crocheter. I can find no evidence of such an idea. Your work is stunning in design, color choices and textural application! You are truly a crochet artist. 😊
Thank you for your very kind words. My background is art/drawing, my media is colored ink with colored pencil; although I haven't done that kind of work for several years now. Please visit my studio on Facebook, The Downstairs Attic. Thank you again.
