Ellen, What a great interview! Thanks for sharing about "doing what you already do", and perseverance...

Just so you know, I have followed "Knit and Crochet Now" on Create for a couple of years...I have to get up rather early to catch it, though, but it is worth it. I wondered if you all made your own samples! :)
I love what you are doing to spread the Crochet love (no hating of knitting here...just can't get the hang of it; however I have mixed Tunisian and regular crochet...lots of fun...imagine mixing knit and crochet would also be good for the brain and soul!)--Keep it up!
