I stumbled across crochet in 2017 when looking at what to make my goddaughter for her Christening. Since then, yarn has taken over every corner of my house. I’m always itching to get started on a new project and inspiration strikes everywhere… but I never seem to have enough yarn! When I’m not crocheting, I’m knitting, and when I’m not knitting, you can usually find me scowling over a spreadsheet at my full-time engineering gig that I only attend to fund my yarn habit (and major travelling obsession). I’ve visited every continent except South America and Antarctica and 46 out of 50 US States – and I’m one of those people who buys souvenir yarn… no wonder I have so much! If I could live anywhere it would be in New Zealand, and apparently they have a lot of sheep… coincidental? I think not.
