Once upon a time in a faraway land, I began my quest to be the most artistic person on the planet when I was 11. I tried everything that you could imagine: paint-by-numbers, calligraphy, loom knitting, knitting, bead animals, and sewing. Finally, I discovered crochet by accident. I went on vacation to visit my aunt, and I saw her crocheting a blanket. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! What kind of crazy voodoo magic causes a blanket to be formed out of nothing but a ball of string, and a metal hook. Since then, it’s been my favorite form of crafting.

Fast forward over a decade later, and here I am in Houston, TX. I still loom knit sometimes, but mostly I crochet. In the past year, I have also become pretty adept at traditional knitting (but I still can not make socks!) Being left handed, learning knitting and crochet had its challenges, for every pattern that I would find never really worked for me. After a few years of troubleshooting, I can successfully say that I can work with almost any pattern and can write patterns that work whether you are right-handed or left- handed.

When I’m not working on my crochet and knitting empire, my day job consists of working in a lab, testing polymer additives. You may have noticed that there was a 3 year “quiet time” on the blog… during this time, I was completing a Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering and struggled to find free time for crafting. However, I graduated at the end of 2018 (YAY!) and now can focus on my first love- making beautiful things and helping others do the same.

So, without further ado, welcome the site! Please look around, and enjoy patterns created by myself, and patterns created from other designers.
