    The Inspiring Kim Guzman: Designer Showcase!

    Published: May 27, 2014 by Tamara Kelly · 8 Comments

    It’s time for May'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 thrilled and honored to have Kim Guzman, blogger, designer, and crochet inspiration to millions!

    Learn all about the incomparable Kim Guzman in the Moogly Designer Showcase, and check out 5 free #crochet patterns from this amazing designer!

    Kim has designed hundreds and hundreds of patterns, written several books, and is a world renowned crochet expert. While she is perhaps best known for her knowledge of Tunisian crochet (see the Leisure Arts book above!), she's got amazing patterns in a variety of styles, including her latest, Drop Stitch Crochet! Before I get too gushy, let's hear from Kim.

    Drop Stitch Crochet by Kim Guzman - amazing new #crochet technique!"There isn't often a day when you won't find me without a crochet hook or my knitting needles in my hands! Turning these loves into a full-time career that fulfills my desire for creativity is like a dream come true." Kim Guzman is an award-winning teacher and crochet pattern designer. She writes a variety of patterns including garments, home decor, accessories and gift items. Kim has authored nearly 20 books, most of them in her favorite form of crochet--Tunisian crochet. Tunisian crochet offers Kim more flexibility in her designing due to its unique look, which can mimic knitting or weaving, depending on the stitches used while still maintaining crochet's ease. Being able to combine these looks together in one project brings all needlework together and makes Tunisian crochet a favorite among many. You may often hear that Tunisian crochet is the "step-child" of knitting and crochet. "Not so," says Kim, "it's more like the best of both worlds!" Kim's portfolio of her work can be found at KimGuzman.com. Or, you can follow her on her blog where she discusses the day-to-day activities of designing as well as her newly-found pastime of canning and preserving food.

    Amazing, right? Kim is all over the web too - yay internet! Her youtube video tutorials are fantastic, and she's also on Pinterest, and has all these great sites: Learn all about the incomparable Kim Guzman in the Moogly Designer Showcase, and check out 5 free #crochet patterns from this amazing designer!

      I love how Kim Guzman explains Tunisian crochet. I have seen several of her YouTube videos and she is so easy to understand and explains everything in an easy to understand manner.
