Terilyn Needleart is a partnership between Lynn Curry and Terry Rowe, sisters who share a love of needlework and creativity. They began doing needlework – crochet, embroidery and knitting – at an early age, and creating beautiful and useful items by hand has always been an important part of our lives.

Lynn enjoys making intricate and delicate needlework, and crocheted many lace doilies at a young age. In high school she created lace shawls by modifying crochet doily patterns. She also learned to knit as a child from her grandmother, although she focused on crochet and embroidery. A few years ago she learned to knit lace, and quickly created knitted lace shawls for Christmas gifts. She became fascinated by knitted lace patterns and has spent time reading about and knitting lace, especially the beautiful Shetland lace patterns. Lynn is an active member of the Lacy Knitters Guild and editor of the Guild’s newsletter.

Terry has also done various types of needlework since childhood, with an emphasis on crochet. She loves experimenting with different yarns, colors and textures in the items she creates. She has designed a knitted baby blanket with crocheted edging, and is working on designs for knitted and crocheted handbags and totes.
