1 How did you first get introduced to your craft?

I crocheted and knitted scarves, hats, and hand cuffs as presents when I was five. I really enjoy crocheting, knitting, sewing and across point. In my family, there are a lot of ladies who are good at crocheting or knitting.

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

I like to make fashionable or new styles in an easy and simple way. So all of my patterns are easy and simple to understand and follow. At the beginning, I just recorded the steps or stitches as a note for myself, and then my friends asked me to share my notes. Now I can turn my ideas into patterns.

3 What are you most known for?

Hats – children's and doll's

4 What season inspires you the most?

All of them.

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

I created at least 200 patterns for 2009.

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

Across-point, sew.

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

Crochet, knit and be with my family.
