Author Profile of Carmen Heffernan at I Like Crochet

Carmen Heffernan

I live in Ireland where I teach crochet workshops and obsess about crochet and colour. I have been published in Mollie Makes magazine, and have contributed patterns to many crochet books, including Boho Crochet and Crochet Therapy by Bethsan Corkhill. My first book was published in late 2016 - in the US by Larkcrafts and in the UK by Search Press - Crochet Yourself Calm: 50 Motifs & 15 Projects for Mindful Relaxation.
