Prayerful Problem Solver -- Freelance Virtual Ministry Assistant -- Self-Taught Developer
30+ years in yarn craft with deep roots in crochet and a passion for solving real problems with technology. My work lives at the intersection of traditional craft and modern tools -- building platforms that serve the crochet community and the churches I support.
CrochetAdjust -- A crochet pattern adjustment platform built on FastAPI.
Crocheters shouldn't have to manually recalculate an entire pattern just because they switched yarn or hook size. CrochetAdjust takes any pattern and adjusts it automatically -- gauge, yarn substitution, hook size, stitch counts, yardage -- through a five-stage processing pipeline:
Input > Translation > Canonical Model > Adjustment Engine > Output
- Multilingual support (10+ languages planned)
- Rule-based adjustment engine with AI expansion roadmap
- Multiple output formats (PDF, condensed, SVG chart, slideshow)
- Ravelry API integration for yarn intelligence
Interactive Crochet Glossary -- Yarn Craft Terminology Database -- Building the first comprehensive, open, API-accessible database of yarn craft terminology. Starting from a crochet foundation and expanding across all fiber arts disciplines. Structured data with US/UK translations, categories, and educational tools.
