Accidental crafter!

I'm a left hander and have vague memories of my mum trying to teach 7 year old me to knit, then watching her get frustrated because she couldn't work out how to do it backwards - a frustration I fully understand having failed to pass on the skill to my right handed nieces and nephews!

I'm a big fan of Instagram and handmade crafts and kept seeing beautiful crocheted items that I wished I could make. So when I ended up laid up for several weeks after hip surgery, I decided I would teach myself a variation on the skill I failed to learn as a child. It turned out I loved it! Who knew a ball of wool and a hook could be such good therapy?
I have never looked back since picking up that first hook, little did I know I would discover a passion and a whole new world!

My thanks go out to YouTube and all the contributors to Ravelry who helped me learn the craft. Yarn lovers are a wonderful generous group of people who have come into my life in a quite unexpected way.
Now I have my own blog and YouTube channel so I hope I can return the favour to someone I don’t know yet!

I’m on a mission to enable crocheters to create their own wardrobes and spread the message that creative pursuits really can change your life!

Enough about me. Get browsing, and if you’re wondering if you can make that pattern or not, the answer is “yes you can”!
Feel free to message me with any questions, I’m here to help!

Big Love

    I took up crochet in autumn 2012 as something to keep me occupied whilst recuperating from an operation. I immediately became addicted and haven't been able to put my hook down since.
