I'm a published crochet designer of fashion, functional lifestyle accessories, and occasional oddball stuff.

Recently published designs: Tunisian "Five Peaks Shawl" in the Spring 2010 issue of Interweave Crochet magazine; the award-winning "Tokyo Jacket," a free pattern here: www.naturallycaron.com/projects/tokyo/tokyo_5.html

I use the uber-versatile crochet medium with whatever materials result in the best design--best meaning most aesthetically pleasing, up to date, AND the most functionally successful.

I now write and publish patterns and informative articles for my own pattern website, and attend relevant conferences for both professionals and hobbyists.
