KnotYourselfOut

If you have made it to this page, you likely enjoy crochet as much as I do. With hook in hand, you find yourself getting completely lost in lovely textured yarns, vibrant colors and the fast, soothing rhythm that comes from looping knot after knot...

And when you are not crocheting, do you find yourself dreaming about crocheting?? And dreaming about what to crochet and how to crochet it?? For as long as I can remember, I have.

My mother taught me how to crochet at a very early age. It occupied a lot of my childhood and proved to be quite a useful skill. All these years later, it is still a useful skill – more than ever, as I shift into it as a career. It was the birth of my son, ultimately, that brought crochet as a career into the realm of possibility for me. And the birth of Etsy, also, of course – such a fabulous platform.

I hope you like my designs. I believe they have a unique look and feel that reflects the wonderful diversity of the many places in which I have lived and traveled to. I get my inspiration from what I see around me every day – in the shops, on the streets, on the subway, and in the playground (to name a few).

Most of my designs come with a background story that I share in the item’s “details” section. As a fellow stitcher, I thought that you might find these stories interesting and that they might inspire you to make something beautiful.

In addition to dreaming about crochet, I believe that many of us also dream about being able to do what we love for a living; for me, that dream has FINALLY become a reality.

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for taking the time to read my story.
