Welcome to Almost Amy!

In my teaching and design work in the fiber arts (mainly crochet and knitting), I emphasize 

garment designs that are light, comfortable, and easy to wear, like those you see on this page.

 

 I hope you'll enjoy browsing this site, where you'll find:

 

--  crochet and knitting patterns you can order to make items of my own design, from sweaters to ponchos, that are classic without being stodgy, fun but not radical.

 

-- a calendar of upcoming classes and workshops    I'll be teaching in the Washington D.C. area and at fiber arts gatherings all around the country.

 

-- occasional offers of great tools and equipment.PaintedShawl homepage

 

-- yarn/pattern kits  for producing some accessories (right now, see my Kits  that let you create your own one-of-a-kind Painted Shawl (photo at right) in a variety of complementary colors to match your personal palette.

-- free patterns  and hints ; links  to other useful sites; corrections , when needed; and other information.

a while back was recently featured in the Saturday Evening Post.  Also while you're on their site, check out the other crochet-related articles they have.
