About Me
I am a life long crafter who began designing dishcloths at the beginning of 2007. I have been crocheting for 19 years, knitting for 7 years and dabbling in many other crafts such as cross stitch, sewing, beading, quilling, and ceramics.
I work part-time as a teacher and I like to spend my evenings knitting and designing patterns. I'm also an avid reader and I love movies. I live in Central Connecticut with my husband, three boys, three cats, gerbils and numerous assorted fish.
I taught myself to knit when my oldest son was an infant so I could knit a hat for him. After my third son was born, I realized I had no time at all to knit, but I discovered the Monthly Dishcloth KAL group. Dishcloths were the perfect thing for me to knit in small snippits of time. I very quickly became hooked on dishcloths, and it wasn't too long before I attempted my first design.
If you have a request for a design, I'm always willing to give it a try. Contact me at emily@designs-by-emily.com and I'll let you know if I think I'll be able to do it and how long it will take.
