About the Maker
Hi guys! My name is Natalia and I'm the maker behind Nat & Stitches! My passion for crochet started when I was younger, probably around 10 years old or so. My mom taught me the basic stitches and from then on, I taught myself the rest.
What started as a hobby quickly became my stress reliever whenever life as a military member became too much to handle. Through that time, I also taught myself how to knit and started making tons of handmade stuff, such as beanies, baby attires, and ear warmers to donate during Christmas to those less fortunate in the local area in a project my friends and I named Knitting for the Needy, which we did for years until the 2020 Covid Pandemic and military moves forced us to pause.
Since then, I have worked on growing my business little by little, taking custom orders, doing craft shows, and selling ready-to-ship pieces.
What am I up to currently? I am now an Air Force Veteran and hold an MFA in Creative Writing. I work as a children's book editor for my day job, and crochet and knitting as my side hustle. I also have a wonderful husband and two adorable pets who make my life happier than I could've thought, which is why we are working on growing our little family and adding a little human baby to it.
My love for the fiber arts is still going strong.
Please join me on this wonderful journey; either by supporting my sales or sharing my page.
Let's make the world a happy place full of all the yarn!
