I watched a few more videos on the different types of stitches and then I just started making things that I saw in my head ha ha!

​

At this time, however, I had not a clue how to read a pattern! So one day I decided to find a hat pattern on YouTube for a friend that needed one. That is when I discovered Little John's Yarn! I decided to watch her video and write down everything she said. Later I thought to myself, maybe since people were asking for a written version of this video, in the comments section, I should share what I wrote down with Alysha, the founder of Little John's Yarn, and see if she could use it for her followers.

​

To my surprise she wrote me back elated! She gave me some pointers on how patterns should be written and pushed me to try writing my own patterns. With her encouragement I took a leap of faith and started designing and writing patterns by July of 2019!

​

I formed a group on Facebook called "Orchid and Bee's VIP's and this group grew to nearly 200 members within a month! They were an incredible group of crocheters who came along and tested my patterns and helped me get my start as a Designer! To this day that group continues to grow with me!

​

As a beginner in the crochet world my passion is to create patterns that are easy for beginners to follow. I want beginners have easy, fun, vibrant, and colorful appliques to give extra special touches to their finished pieces.

​

I look forward to continuing to grow my skills as a crocheter but I am always going to have a special place in my heart for beginners and will always make a way for them to do patterns that look like something only a more experienced crocheter could do!

Thanks for joining me on this journey! Now let's go have fun crocheting!
