Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy my free patterns. My patterns are written in US terminology and I have some handy links to crochet instrustions for beginners. Unfortunately I'm not always available to answer questions about the patterns promptly, so having a look through the comments may have the answer for you or there is always Google :)Thank you for reading and keep crocheting, Maggie.

THANK YOU!!!!

Well there are just no words to explain how pleased I am with the response to the survey. You are all so amazing for taking the time to fill it out. The answers you have given me will really help in making a pattern book that crocheters actually want and I love that a lot of you think the same as myself about book that are around at the moment.

I've been crocheting odd little things recently and will post the patterns in the future for you all. Here is an especially cute pattern for to say thank you again:
