Today, we’re going to throw it back to the MySpace days — you know, the days when you would sit down at your computer and fill out those surveys. Those were truly so much fun! Sorry mom by the way for being on MySpace when you told me I shouldn’t… oops.
I can’t take all of the credit here. I’d like to thank my girl Killian at Viney Maple for inspiring me to do a blog post on this. It was so much fun!
So if you feel inclined, definitely go for filling out this survey!
How did you learn to crochet?
I honestly taught myself. My grandma tried to teach me when I was little, but wasn’t successful. When my dog, Maggie, passed away, I learned to knit to try to cope with it. My mom crocheted and when she passed away, she left behind a lot of half completed projects, including a half finished blanket for me. So I taught myself how to crochet in the efforts to finish them.
What’s your favorite thing to crochet?
It changes. Sometimes, it’s plushies. Others it’s wearables.
If you could only use one yarn for the rest of your life what would it be?
Hear me out, but acrylic! That way I can make literally anything.
What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever made?
I’m not sure if it’s considered to be weird, but Wally the Red Sox Mascot was the most unique.
What is something you’ll never crochet?
I’d say bikinis. Nothing against them, but I feel like too much can go wrong there.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Honestly, YouTube and Instagram. I consume a lot of crochet content, which inspires me to make things and even just to grow as a crochet artist.
Favorite thing you’ve made so far this year?
That’s a hard one! I’d say the crochet plants I’ve made with a pattern book from the Knot Monster. One was a gift and I made a hanging one for myself. I do plan to make another one soon as a house warming gift for a friend. They are so beyond adorable!
Crochet plans you’re excited about for the future?
I’d say making more clothing items! I’m very much looking forward to wearing stuff and going, yeah, I made that.
Worst thing about crochet?
Finishing stuff. I sometimes lose interest in a project when it gets hard, takes too long, repetitive, etc., and just want to make something so I put it aside and do something else. It’s a problem.
Favorite thing about crochet?
I’d say finishing stuff — like actually finishing something! I’ve given so many crochet projects as gifts, and there’s nothing better than the feeling of pure joy of seeing someone enjoy something you made.
