On her site, she publishes patterns, courses, writes a blog, and has an online store full of products for knitters and crocheters.
What began as a hobby naturally evolved into a company dedicated to crochet, with students in more than 50 countries. She has published 9 books, 4 online courses, and more than a hundred patterns, in addition to having collaborated with brands like Katia, Casasol, and We Are Knitters.
