The Elegant Kathy Lashley of ELK Studio: Designer Showcase!

July 28, 2014 By: Tamara Kelly4 Comments

It’s time for July’s Designer Showcase! Once a month I have one of my favorite designers share a bit about themselves, and then I follow it up by sharing my 5 favorite free patterns that they’ve designed! This month I’m super excited to have Kathy Lashley, the elegant, talented, and wonderful designer and blogger at ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs!

Kathy is known for her classic, elegant, and slightly southern designs! Her patterns are always lovely, and her hats are breathtaking! Here’s what she has to say!

ELK Studio - Handcrafted Crochet Designs - 5 free #crochet patterns in the Designer Showcase on Mooglyblog.comHi everyone! It was such an honor when Tamara asked me to share a little about myself with the wonderful Moogly fans. My name is Kathy Lashley, and I’m the person behind the computer screen of ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs. I’ve crocheted for over 32 years but have really just started designing and blogging within the past year. I can’t believe how much fun I’m having crocheting compared to working in the medical field for the last 23 years. Hopefully one day crocheting will be my full-time job, and I can hang up those scrubs.

I’ve been married for almost 5 years and have a blended family of 5 children and 7 grandchildren (wow that makes me feel old), but love spending my time with the kids and hubby. I probably wouldn’t be writing this if it weren’t for the support of my husband. He has practically named every one of my projects and doesn’t mind the yarn in the living room, bedroom, or craft room. Maybe I should put some in the bathroom for giggles. I love designing accessories for the adult and would say my signature style would be my Southern line of summer hats, but I love creating bags, scarves and shawls too. So far I have 36 designs and look forward to learning new stitches, techniques and styles for future projects. I would like to thank Tamara for allowing me this opportunity. Isn’t she wonderful?

Kathy has been so wonderful to get to know – and I know you’ll love her patterns too, if you don’t already! You can follow ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs on Facebook and check out some of her fabulous paid patterns on Ravelry. Here are 5 of her free patterns that I want to share with you today!
