Elegant doilies using advanced techniques are Patricia Kristoffersen s favorite projects. I enjoy creating different-looking designs that have texture, pattern, and an elegance to them, she says. It allows them to be more of a piece of art. Taught to crochet at the age of 4 by her grandmother, Trish loves the creativity and detail that are possible when crocheting with thread. Leisure Arts has published more than 25 books of her designs. To see some of them, visit LeisureArts.com, pkcrochet.com, or her Facebook page.
