ABOUT ME
With a wealth of information accumulated in over 30 years of designing in crochet and knit, I am delighted to share my own patterns with you.
In my earlier years of design and production of hand-made items, I ran a home-based cottage industry supplying shops in Toronto and surrounding area with items of highest quality. I also designed and executed custom garments for preferred clients. I have taught crochet in the classroom setting, providing personal instruction to individuals as required. I have created and assisted with designs for Chatelaine and Canadian Living magazines, and have won awards for my designs.
As a designer, Engineering Technologist and technical writer, my quest for aesthetic appeal and perfection is continuous. As a mother and grandmother, I know the warm and wonderful feeling of having my own designs appreciated.
My goal is to provide crocheters with instructions for delightful and well-designed items executed from patterns that are accurate, easy to follow and conform to a standard instruction style. Ruth I. Forbes
