Hi there! I’ve been spending too much time and money on yarn since 2017. I began my crochet journey when one day, I was cleaning out my craft supplies and came across an old ball of yarn. I wanted to do something with it that wasn’t making more pom poms. So I googled “how to crochet” — promptly became lost. I turned to my friend for help, begging her to teach me crochet in a way that didn’t make my brain spontaneously combust. She taught me the basics, and I churned out a few crooked, messy, and mediocre pieces. I remember one of the first things I ever made was a set of Christmas ornaments — I know for a fact that those “ornaments” never made it onto a Christmas tree.

It was in 2020 that I discovered amigurumi. My first crochet stuffed animal was a little mouse. I was so proud of it. (I still have the mouse, in a bag with the rest of my earliest makes.) Wanting to make more, I spent the next few months crocheting adorable animals and delicious desserts, finding free patterns and tutorials online.

After a while, I decided to try to make my own patterns. First up was a simple crochet donut. Somehow it worked, and I managed to create something that vaguely resembled a fried blob of dough. From there I went on to make a cupcake pattern and an ice cream pattern. One pattern steamrolled into another, and before I knew it I was spending most of my free time coming up with new designs and crocheting them into existence.

And now here I am. I hope you have as much fun making these patterns as I did designing them!
