Announcement    My name is Jan and I live in Fleetwood in the North of England. I have many years of crochet and knitting experience having had three family yarn shops working along side my parents and then by myself until a few years ago. I am now retired and so my passion for crochet has become more important in my life.

My first love is retro crochet and have a huge selection of patterns that I work from but I have recently become a fan of the modern designs too. I crochet what I love and hopefully that you will love also.

I don't like to stick with one design hence the variety of crochet ( and knit) that I put into my Etsy shop. I am a plus sized lady so a lot of my work is flattering for the larger sizes but that doesn't mean that I don't include other sizes as well.

Clothing and accessories are my normal range whether it be baby, child, or adult. I love to experiment with designs and this is reflected in a lot of my one off designs. I love shawls and ponchos as they cover all seasons. At this moment in time I am thinking of Summer designs for the shop.

Please feel free to contact me either on Etsy or my Facebook page Urban Gypsy Crochet if you want to make any enquiries. I also have a Youtube channel as Jan Carruthers Urban Gypsy Crochet.

Thank you for visiting my shop

Jan
