This week the Etsy Twitter Team would like to showcase the Crochet Gal as the Shop of the Week. Now, you will expect to see some super crocheted items in her shop, and you will, but she doesn't stop there. She offers her special yarns for you to create some of your favorite items as well. She also has something that is quite unique--wooden soap dishes. Yes, wooden soap dishes that she hand cuts herself in a collaboration with her partner who uses the Etsy account UnclJohn.

Aren't these just the greatest?? Think about stocking stuffers for the upcoming holidays. They come in a three pack and you will need several. Cute little gifts with a handmade bar of soap all wrapped up in cellophane with a pretty ribbon.
Her favorite artist is Jill Walterbach, aka The Wooden Wizard, www.thewoodenwizard.com
"Her work has always inspired me to push beyond my limits. I’m amazed at what Jill can do with a scroll saw. "

Her love of crocheting is evident in her work. In her own words, "Currently, I am a crochet professional working in the industry. I love to work with any type of materials. If it can be stranded, it can be crocheted. Many of my items are of my own design, some of which have been featured in major publications. Most of my wearables are one of a kind pieces. I'm always looking for fresh, new ideas so if there is something that you would like me to make, please get in touch. I enjoy a challenge and as long as I have a picture to go by, I can usually make the item."

Val has created many lovely items, the one pictured here is Alpaca and Silk in sapphire blue; doesn't it just scream soft and comfy?? Wrap up in one of these for a night on the town with that little black dress and you will turn heads.
She also carries a wide array of yarns and other threads so be sure to browse her shop.
She is a member of the Crochet Guild of America (CGOA).
