The theme of this year’s blog tour is crochet memories and these questions help our readers get to know you better, so please answer at least one, preferably all three if you can.
a. Would you share with us one of your earliest memories of crochet?
This could be a little story or just a few sentences. It could be from childhood or adulthood, depending upon when crochet came into your life.
b. Would you share with us one of your memories of becoming a crochet designer?
This could be about your “big break” into the design world, writing your first pattern, an experience with a mentor, juggling a day job with crochet designing, etc. Write as much or as little as you like.
c. Would you share with us one of your most memorable experiences as a crochet designer?
So many possible topics here! Maybe a difficult project you’re really proud of, getting published somewhere you always dreamed of, struggling to meet a deadline, a design that went horribly wrong, interacting with students, meeting other crochet designers, etc. You can tell us a lot or a little, your choice.
