Sandi Marshall is a professional crochet pattern designer who loves sharing her knowledge of crochet techniques with others.
Experience:
Sandi was "hooked" on crochet the first time she tried it and has been an avid crocheter and pattern designer for more than 30 years. She has been the About.com Guide to Crochet since 1997.
Her original rickrack crochet designs have been published in two American School Of Needlework books: Learn To Crochet With Rickrack and Rickrack Crochet For Your Home.
From Sandi Marshall:
This site is a resource for all phases of crocheting: free patterns, yarn sources, helpful tutorials and more.
My desire to learn technique after technique evolved into designing original patterns. I hope to inspire other crocheters to try more of the patterning, textures and versatility of the art of crochet that are there to be discovered.
I've made many of my original crochet designs available as free patterns on this site, developing many of them into teaching patterns, with stitches and techniques made easier to learn with the step-by-step photos that I've created to accompany many of these patterns.
