[quote author=”- Karen Gaskell, Beautiful scarves. Interesting story”]I saw your site listed on a group to which I belong, Crochet Partners, and I checked it out, as I always look at their referrals.  When I saw your Sea Shells Scarf, which looked so familiar. I recognized it immediately as a scarf which I had recently seen. I knew in real life that it was a stunning piece and I knew I had seen in done in a pale to mid shade of blue. It then came to me that I was in line at Starbucks in Ponte Vedra, Florida (south of Jacksonville but north of St Augustine) yesterday. The weather was really nice & warm so most people in the very long line wore shorts. The woman in front of me, though wore a light blue sweat suit, carried an incredible large and lovely  blue handbag. She also wore this gorgeous blue scarf….yours……she looked stunning. I know she was from Europe as she and her companion were speaking  Italian and her clothing was well made with that European style. Anyhow, that scarf made the outfit and everyone in the long line was admiring her.[/quote]

[quote author=”- Sharon Curtis”]I am still breathlessly awaiting a book series based on your designs!! They are all wonderful, and yet each item has an element of simplicity that can be used in other areas!! Very excited about your work. [/quote]

[quote author=”- Jennifer in Missouri”]Thank You so much for posting these wonderful- cute as a bug patterns! Finally some REALLY cute crochet patterns for real life wear. My girlies and myself LOVE to wear crochet but almost everything you find is soooo outdated. My 7yr olds head is just about to pop off with excitment because her summer outfits are going to be so cool…[/quote]

[quote author=”- Helga”]Wow. I just want to let those who haven´t bought patterns here before know that they are absolutely worth every penny. I just bought my first patterns from Alla and they were waiting for me in my email box about an hour later. And not only are they gorgeous but also extremely well written and have lots of pictures and explanations. Plus how many pattern designers can you contact directly if you need any help;)And on top of being talented, she is also very nice and helpful. Now with all these new beautiful patterns my fingers are just itching to get started:)
Thank you so much Alla
I´ll be looking forward to seeing what pretty things you´ll be creating in the future.
One very happy customer:)))[/quote]

[quote author=”- Joyce”]Alla, I am truly amazed by your creativity! I haven’t seen such beautiful designs in years. It is so wonderful that you share your gift with others.

[quote author=”- Irina”]Спасибо Вам огромное за переворот в моем сознании. Вязать я раньше не очень любила, так, по необходимости. Но увидев Ваши работы, просто влюбилась практически в каждую модельку. Уже запаслась пряжей, и надеюсь к лету моя принцесса будет щеголять в Ваших моделях. [/quote]

[quote author=”- Dawn”]In 2010 I found your website by doing a google search for crochet scarf patterns. In my 35 years of crocheting never have I seen the creativity that your patterns have. I love the way you draw the pattern. I crocheted 16 of your scarf patterns this year and gave them to my co-workers. I usually crochet scarves all year as a stress reliever, then give the scarves to homeless shelters. I am excited to begin my stress therapy :) [/quote]

[quote author=”- Carol Boljevic”]OMG! I stumbled upon your site and can’t believe my eyes! Such beautiful patterns and thorough instructions.

Now, I can relax and continue to find new and beautiful new patterns for my “grand girls”. Thank you for such a wonderful site.[/quote]

[quote author=”- Helga”]Your patterns are absolutly gorgeous. I´m so glad I found your page. When I have been looking for cute crochet patterns, I´ve always found a lot for babies and toddlers.

[quote author=”- Sharon”]I made the splash pattern and the instructions were so clear and simple. It was so much fun to crochet! I received so many compliments on it as it was in progress. My granddaughter called when she got it in the mail. She said she loved it, and that it meant so much to her – she is 7. I was so touched by her enthusiasm and expression of love that words cannot explain how joyful I felt. I am sure all your fans join you in your celebration, and I would just like to let you know that if you ever publish a book, I’ll have it on pre-order the second I hear the news. Very few people have your talent, and I am grateful you share it with those of us who cannot design. [/quote]

[quote author=”- LadyHooker”]Your hats are ‘par excellence’! Your ability to create quality, by using simplicity, is very rare to find, and easily recognized as superior!

You have the ability to know that “How can something be so pretty and so simple?” because that, in itself, is the beauty. [/quote]

[quote author=”- D. Garrett”]without a doubt, you are the best when it comes to crocheting, your colors go together very well, I have crocheted for a long time, my mother taught me. God rest her. But I have never seen anything that looks as good as your does. I think my colors come from the old old school of putting colors together. You do a wonderful job. I am anxious for my sister to see your site. Keep it up, you are an inspiration when it comes to crocheting. Thank you for having this site.

So many gorgeous things to choose from; I can’t decide :-) [/quote]

[quote author=”- Mary”]I’ve been crocheting since last year.  Making hats and baby things. I saw this pattern while randomly searching the web. I usually use free patterns but purchased this one to make for my 12 year old granddaughter. It came out as more a size 12, so I finished it for me. Wore it Wednesday. I got so many compliments from the first person who saw it and the woman at Dillard’s who asked me if I could make 300 by Christmas to sell at Dillard’s. Thank you. [/quote]
