Desert Diamond Crochet

Read more about this wonderful designer below.

Company Name: Desert Diamond Crochet
Designer Name:  Rebecca Goldsmith
Home State:  Roaming Nomad
Design Specialty:  Hats by customer request, but I am experimenting with other items as time permits.

1 How did you first get introduced to your craft?

I purchased a "Teach Yourself To Crochet" kit and made a baby blanket for a co-worker as a baby shower gift.

2 What type of patterns do you enjoy designing the most?

I love stuffed animals but customers tend to request sports mascot hats, so my specialty seems to be sliding off into that arena -- but I love to design what customers ask for!

3 What are you most known for?

Sports mascot hats

4 How do you jump-start your creativity?

I survey customers on Facebook mostly or I am inspired by seasons or things I see in the store when I am out shopping.

5 What season inspires you the most?

Halloween/Christmas

6 On average, how many new patterns do you design each year?

About 10. I would like to see that number go up. I work full time so design time between my full time job and customer orders is hard to come by sometimes.

7 Is there another craft you'd like to try your hand at?

Polymer Clay

8 What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

I enjoy playing video games but sometimes when things are slow, I use Sundays to come up with a new design!

9 What three items do you always have in your craft bag?

Yarn, measuring tape, and crochet hooks.
