About the Author
Rachele Carmona, Cypress, TX - Rachele has over 100k crocheters hooked on making awesome crochet blankets through her beautiful Instagram feed @cypresstextiles. This is her first book.Note from Rachele: I'm just a girl crocheting in Texas, with a hunky hubby, four bouncing kids, and three hyperactive fur-babies by my side. I grew up just outside of Houston, finished my BA in English, and then got married and started a career which I continued for over a decade. Then when my eldest started Kindergarten, I was able to drop everything and stay home with the kiddos. We live in a plain one-story with a plant-filled yard, complete with hammock. Living the quiet life and loving it!
