My Name is Kathy

I am 52 years young. Currently live in the State of Washington. I have been married now for 34 years to Marv, who has supported me in all my endeavors.
I have been crocheting for about forty years and love what we can do with our thread and hooks. I have probably crocheted a little of everything in my time. From clothes, Baby items, afghans, Tableclothes, bedspreads, toys and anything else you can think of.
I get great satisfaction designing both my Crocheted Beaded Purses and anything crochet, Doilies in praticular.
My favorite type of crocheting is anything with thread. I love making doilies, Irish crochet pieces, my beaded purses. and small novelty items done in thread, such as pincushions, edgings, and doll dresses. Thread fascinates me as the stitches are what carries the piece.
I Love the fact that with nothing more than a piece of string and hook we can make the most intricate and beautiful pieces of art. It's literally making something from nothing. Adding beads adds a whole new realm of possibilities. Designing has added a new aspect to crocheting for me. I absolutely love watching an idea take shape and substance.I love the challenge of making what I envision actually work.

Hi Kathy,
It is good to finally see the face behind all those beautiful beaded purses. I admire your work. I also ordered an item from your web site last year. I had searched every where for a swan, and the soap critter swan looked like a possibility of what I was wanting. I am looking fwd. to learning some new techniques at this Crochet Classroom.
