Welcome!
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my brand new blog!
I've decided to start this blog to kind of gather all of my ideas and share them with you like minded peeps.
I hope you will stick around and join me on this journey.
I've learnt to crochet when I was little, I can't really remember how old I was. I was taught by my dear mum who passed on as much knowledge as she had about crochet.
She tried to teach me to knit too but I am a lost cause when it comes to knitting. Mum is a very good knitter and can crochet. My older sister can knit but can't crochet. I can crochet but can't knit. So in a way mum passed on both of the crafts between the two daughters.
After picking up crochet again in my early twenties I made a few things including blankets, toys and a few garments. But I was never one to follow a pattern and always tweaked and adjusted it to my liking.
That's when I got the taste for designing things exactly how I wanted them to look. I've gone a couple of years of making things just off the top of my head without even writing a single bit of pattern down.
The game changer was a Tunisian cardigan I made for my little boy in autumn 2016. That was the first pattern I've ever written down. And it became the first pattern published in a magazine!!
Jacob's cardigan was published in Inside Crochet Magazine in December 2016.
