Announcement    SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION SECTION:
Published works appear in "Poncho Panache", Crafts Magazine, Annie’s Attic, Woman's Day and others. I had way too much fun sharing fake food crafting techniques on Phoenix Channel 12 with the wonderful Kathy Cano-Murillo (Crafty Chica) and the Arizona Republic.

This experienced and responsible artisan likes to create quick and easy crochet projects for intermediate or enthusiastic beginners. Designs are texture rich, gauge free and worked without hook gymnastics. I also offer various handcrafted items to delight the eye and mind. Each has excellent genes to withstand the test of time.

CROCHETING IS GOOD FOR YOU SECTION:
Research shows the life enhancing benefits of playing with hooks. My bio reads: astronaut, neurosurgeon and lion tamer.

FINE PRINT/PLEASE READ LISTING BEFORE PURCHASING SECTION/HELP KEEP MY TYLENOL CONSUMPTION DOWN:
Projects can be instantly downloaded courtesy of Etsy. If you have trouble downloading, kindly message me and I will send PDF to email you provided. Patterns are not returnable due to nature of product.

Listings state whether item is pattern and not actual finished product. If I only charged $4.99 for actual product that took hours to create plus cost of materials, shipping and Etsy fees, my new address would be the license plate of my car.

Please reach out to me anytime. Happy to give email support and treat each one of you like only children.

Instructions or any parts thereof cannot be duplicated and touted as one's original pattern. This includes translations into other languages. The word "copy" is not to be confused with the word "inspiration". For a more definitive explanation, please Google search the word "no".

Actual completed items from my patterns may be sold to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit. If product is currently displayed in your shop, I would appreciate you mentioning my Etsy shop link.

THE SELLER IS ALWAYS WRONG SECTION:
Please follow pattern directions exactly as written. Listings clearly indicate whether pattern is for beginner or intermediate beginner. If a crochet hook is as foreign to you as an iron or oven (excuse my projecting), think it is best not to purchase my patterns.

Crocheting is a wonderful skill to learn. I am sure your grandma or grandpa would love to teach you this great art after they are finished hitting the clubs.

I design hats for the average size head which is neither 2 inches around nor 400 inches around. I am so sorry if you are the victim of a 14th century curse.

Please don't assume the pattern is wrong if you are having challenges. Just reach out to me if you have a problem before leaving minus 100 stars feedback and comments in CAPS. I will do absolutely anything (except remove that gross stuff stuck in your shower drain) to help.

Thank you for visiting my shop and supporting my small business. I truly love all of you.

Cheers,
Ele
❤️
