Introduction to Momwithahook Crochets:
My history in making crochet patterns – I’m no professional by any means. I don’t even use the Yarn Standards. I use what I’ve learned from reading crochet patterns from books and magazines. If I were to do this for a living I would definitely learn the standards and process of submitting patterns to magazines. Who knows I might one day?
