Knitting and crochet are fulfilling ways to create beautiful items. Sharing the love of the craft is something I seek to do. I enjoyed knitting at a local knitting shop in Hillsboro, but with a demanding career and a wonderful kid I found it hard to drive all the way up to Hillsboro on a weekly basis. The goal is to bring together local knitters and those who wish to learn the craft and share love on a regular basis in the Tigard and Lake Oswego area. I invite local knitters and crochet enthusia …

My name is Shelly, welcome to my group page! I took my first cake decorating class at the community center when I was 17 years old, and my mom bought me six tips and a little spatula.

From that early experience, I took other classes, practiced and learned from other decorators, and proceeded to master my craft. I went on to do special occa …
