Welcome!

My name is April and my goal is to create patterns for you that are full of texture and interest and stand out from the crowd. I love combining stitches to create patterns that look intricate but are still ease to produce but stand out from the crowd.

As a proud Canadian I love to feature fellow Canadian yarn dyers in my patterns to show off all their amazing talent and how hand dyed yarn can really make a pattern shine.

I have recently fallen in love with Tunisian crochet. I’m enjoying all the new stitch techniques that can be used to create a crochet design that produces an item that looks similar to knit. All while still using one hook!
