Heather is a designer, writer, and long-time crocheter who first learned the craft at age 12, thanks to her great-grandmother. Her early love for making granny squares soon grew into creating baby outfits for family and friends—each one unique and made without a written pattern. In 2006, Heather began writing her designs down, and by 2008 she launched her first site, JustCrochet.com, offering baby patterns in both UK and US crochet terms. As interest in home and gift patterns grew, she created a second site, PatternsForCrochet.co.uk, to share even more projects. Today, both websites offer a wide range of patterns for crocheters around the world. Heather continues to share her passion for crochet, one pattern at a time.
