Yes, I crochet and I like it!



I love to crochet. There I said it!

I opened my Etsy shop to sell my creations. There I said that too!

When I was around 9 my babysitter showed the lot of us how to crochet. My hands need to be busy as much as my brain does so I fell in love with it. Sadly, I stopped crocheting when I was about 12. Then a few years ago I got antsy. I needed to create something with my hands. I started going down the list of things I like to do (LEGO, sculpting polymer clay, writing) and it dawned on me I hadn't crocheted in a long time. I discovered amigurumi and fell in love with the designs I saw. When I was a kid I never knew you could make something more than a granny square with crochet.

It was such an eye-opener I started devouring video after video of how-to's on youtube. I've made a few dolls, which I enjoy doing, but I really enjoy making fun scarves to show off the quirks in my personality. I also want to incorporate my love of movies into my scarves.

So, this is the start.

When I can figure out hats expect more insanity then.
