Anonymous asked: I just heard you are coming to NC, I am so excited! Where? I live in Carolina Beach, which is a tiny area, but maybe you'll be somewhere near! It would be so amazing to meet you!
Anonymous asked: Hey! I love your work and your style! I was wondering, where are your favorite places to shop online? :)
mermaidinamanhole asked: I just wanted to tell you that you've been a huge inspiration to me. I never would have picked up crochet again a few years ago if I hadn't run into your stuff online. I think you're really talented and I've been on and off for years with running a handmade etsy business and I always come back to see what you're doing and what I can learn from you. Thanks for that!
littlesilverwings asked: I saw your book the other day when I was in Joanne's. I don't even crochet but I bought it anyways just because I want to support you and all your adorable things

noriponi asked: Hiya! I was just wondering about the really cute bracelets you posted on Etsy! I can't seem to find them in your shop? Did I miss them? :/
nectarines asked: Every time I look at your work I'm so inspired to crochet more! Do you have any favorite crochet hooks? I have always just used the cheapy metal ones, but I feel like there must be something more comfortable/ergonomic out there.

Any wisdom you can give...
