Crochet it, sauté it.
Please don't actually sauté any of the crochet items you might purchase or create using patterns purchased here. The headline is an excerpt from a longer quote that goes, "Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE." This quote embodies part of my life philosophy. I can't imagine not making.
This Etsy shop and the items I sell here are results of being a maker, a creator, an artist.
I studied art and design in college and had a short career as a interior designer before pursuing another degree and career in library & information science, but I could never completely let go of the artistic side of myself, nor would I ever want to.
I've been very interested in crochet of late, though I have also learned to paint, quill, sew, and draw. I have not yet learned to knit, but it's on my bucket list, along with Latin dance and culinary classes.
The imaginative capacity and fascinations of small children are an inspiration to me. My friends, family, and other creative people also inspire me to keep challenging myself with more advanced techniques and projects.
