About

So..this is going to be my first post as a blogger.
This blog will mainly be about my two main craft hobbies. Knitting and crocheting.

I've been knitting ever since I was a kid  on and off. Mostly off .Life always seemed to get in the way or I got bored with whatever project I was on. Until I started having more than one project running at the same time.
At that time I started learning the US terms of knitting. I love US and UK patterns.

I recently discovered crocheting. Not that I didn't know about it, but it never really "spoke" to me as something I would enjoy doing. Boy was I wrong!

One day I decided I would knit a beanie for kids. Problem was, I couldn't really find any knitting patterns I liked in danish, so I started looking at crocheting patterns, still in danish. I found one I kinda liked and started looking at the basics of crocheting. And I had so much fun doing it and that was when I got hooked.

I wasn't quite happy with the pattern and started searching for patterns in english. I quickly found a whole bunch of patterns I liked and started learning the terms in english (US).

At some point I came across Craftsy and in one of their newsletters, I could sign up with a discount for one of their  online classes and so I did.

Now I'm hooked on crocheting and discovering Craftsy actually made my passion for knitting come back. At this point I'm signed up for 5 classes and I'm not done signing up yet.


Thank you for reading :)
