Crochet Renee'
Meet Betelgeuse...my father's Jacob ram. He and his family help provide us with wonderful colored and white wool. The Jacob sheep is an ancient breed and gets its name from the story in the Bible about Jacob and his father-in-law, Laban. Check out the book of Genesis. You will notice that Betelgeuse has four horns...that's right, four. Jacob's are one of the breeds which are polycerate, meany "many horned".
About Me
My name is Renee' Barnes (aka Crochet Renee'). I am a crochet and knit designer who had had the great fortune to be able to express my creativity in publication. God has blessed me with many gifts, including family, health and talents, which I would like to share with you here! Welcome to my world!
My Business
I began Crochet Renee' in earnest about two years ago. Like any venture that involves publishing, timetables are worked out so far in advance that it has taken awhile for my designs to begin to show up. Check out my "Designs" link for info about upcoming design releases! I hope to have a book within the next 2 years and be able to design full time! Sound far-fetched? Maybe...but I once saw a saying that went like this..."You can't make footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your butt...and who wants to make buttprints in the sands of time?" Very well put!
Who I Am
I am a fiber artist, living in the beautiful Ozark Mountains! The beauty of the Ozarks often inspires me to create...the colors of spring, summer and fall, the color of an Ozark Mountain sunrise or sunset...the list is neverending. I love to spin and dye my own yarn as well as design crochet and knit items. Visit my Designs page to see my virtual studio!
