A Little About Me
I’ve been crocheting for 24 years and during that time have never once gotten tired of it and stopped.
Even when my family and I moved into a 200 sq. foot RV to travel full-time, you can bet I brought all the yarn I could squeeze in there with me. Under our RV bed, I had a bucket of shoes, a bucket of winter sweaters, and two buckets of yarn. Because priorities, right?
My husband has been nudging me for years to start a crochet blog and I resisted over and over again. Why? Probably a lot of reasons, but a few I can think of are:
- I was afraid of turning a passion into a business
- I didn’t have the confidence I could design crochet patterns
- Crochet blogging is the most challenging blogging I’ve ever done
I’ve been blogging for a living for 15 years (hi there, I’m old) and like crocheting, it’s just something I’ve stuck with. It fits me like a glove. And come to find out, so does blogging about crochet!
Like many, during the 2019-2020 pandemic, crocheting became something that saved me. It kept me busy and it kept my mind at ease when the world felt strange and intimidating.
And just like that, I felt ready to turn it into a business and created I Can Crochet That.
I could feel that the timing was right, so I committed 100% and found myself crocheting for 10+ hours a day, as well as dreaming about pattern ideas as I slept.
I chose the name I Can Crochet That for a couple of reasons: a) as I’m browsing online or in-store for home decor items I think ‘I Can Crochet That‘ all the time; and b) I want you to know and learn that yes, you can crochet that, too.
I’m excited to be on this journey and I want to thank you for joining me. Now, break out those hooks and yarn and let’s crochet that.
