Hi, I'm a busy photographer and mother to one very energetic, very spoilt 2 year old girl (Update: one very spoilt 2 year old boy and one slightly less spoilt 5 year old girl). When I'm not taking or editing photos I'm can be found drinking tea and cursing while I unravel rows and rows of crochet. All because I couldn't be bothered to follow a pattern. I started crocheting when I was pregnant with my little girl, I wanted to make her some booties. I found a pattern I liked and after a few hours and many failed attempts at the first few stitches, I gave up. A few months later while I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my baby (she took her sweet time!) I decided to try again. Thankfully I persisted and after two bouts carpel tunnel syndrome in both my wrists, and 2 years of stumbling through poorly written 'learn to crochet' (just not by reading this) books, I'm proud to say I understand at least the basics of crochet. I started this blog because I found the most useful information on the internet, through free tutorials and patterns.
