I was 19 years old when I first started to crochet and taught myself from a "How to crochet book". Most days I will crochet for a few hours. I love crochet as it helps with my Osteo Arthritis. I love colours and how they mix together.
I have passed my skills onto my grandchildren, my children and my friends. It's a joy to see their faces when they create something for themselves.
What inspired you to sew?
I was pregnant, so wanted to make baby clothes. I make blankets for my grandchildren, wearable boho clothes, bags and hats. A favourite project that I completed was a blanket for my son using a Persian Tile pattern.
Crochet is a hobby for me, though I do sell at a local market. I mainly follow patterns. Crochet hook, scissors, interesting wool are some of the accessories I can't live without.
I was in Finance for many years. I have 4 children and I moved to Australia in my late forties to marry my childhood sweetheart. I owned a hemp shop and read tarot cards for many years.
Retired now, crochet is a way to express my creative side. As a Gemini we are always recreating ourselves. I also love to paint, walk my dog and enjoy time with friends. My husband is very encouraging and the love of my life.
