Although I strive to make my patterns as simple and clear as possible, my projects are intended for those artists who have an intermediate understanding of crochet and can handle stitches that may not be in everyone’s repertoire.  For success you will need to be familiar with (or willing to learn) crochet in the round, joining, increases and decreases, and work without turning.  Ability to imagine your work in 3-D is certainly helpful.  I welcome those new to yarn arts and would like to see you enjoy my work, so if something is unclear please make sure you understand the required stitches/techniques and feel free to email me for clarity.
