About Us
My mom was always a crafty lady and there was always something creative she was working on. She could make beautiful things as large as furniture or as small as earrings. There was no limit for her.
After my mom passed, I missed having access to the fountain of knowledge that she was and how easy it was to reach out to her if I had an idea for something. Grief is a funny thing.
Teaching myself to crochet starting with knitting. I really liked the sound of the needles clicking together but it felt constraining and complicated. I bought a knitting machine, one of those big things that sit on a table and looks like a keyboard missing it's keys. It still didn't feel quite right to me. Then I discovered crochet!
Once I had the crochet hook in my hand it felt natural. I didn't feel as limited and while patterns can be quite complex, I felt more than capable of tackling them. Then I became addicted in the healthiest of ways. I found that I was calmer and happier after working on a project for a while. It's almost meditative.
I have always been the kind of person who would start a project full of excitement and leave the project unfinished because the energy I had at the beginning fizzled out and I lost interest. With crochet though, I can't wait to pull the last loop through, weave in the ends, and marvel at the fabric I made with my own two hands and the piece constructed from it.
