See the tall black building in back of the model in the center of the photo? I used to work on the 37th floor of this building. The model, Helen Yuen, crochet designer, is standing on the fire escape of my friend Jeff Rucker's apartment. Great view, huh?

Diva Crochet & Knitting started in New York City, on the upper East side of Manhattan in 2001. I learned to crochet from my grandmother at the age of 7 in Independence, MO. In 2003, wishing to expand my business, I moved to Tallahassee, FL. Diva Crochet & Knitting is now headquartered in Monticello, FL, a charming southern town 23 miles south of the Georgia border in the Florida Panhandle. Today, I design crochet patterns, knitting board patterns and provide education and advice for those needing help with crochet and knitting board projects. With Diva Crochet & Knitting and The Old Fashioned Knitting Board , I travel to craft shows and fiber events across the USA. Look for me at a show near you, or shop online at www.oldfashionedknittingboard.com.
