About Me
Well, I’m a full grown adult now! In June 2007 I graduated from college with a degree in Computer Science, and a minor in Math. I then spent the summer in France attempting to learn French. Finally, I donated nearly all my belongings (including all my yarn!!!) and took a one-way plane trip to San Francisco. I am now living in North Beach, celebrating life, and working at a great software company.
I had to give away every single craft supply I had, all except for my crochet hooks. I love crochet because it is portable, and flexible and instantly gratifying. Crochet is whatever you want it to be, and I am very thankful I learned those three years ago!
I first learned to crochet back during Christmas of 2005. My sister-in-law used to make the cutest flowers, and I wanted her to make so many she decided to teach me. She bought me some crochet books, and gave me an IOU for lessons as my present. She demonstrated all the basic stitches before I went back to school. And then I promptly forget them!
One year later, I was stressed out from finals, and decide to pick up my hook one more, and gave it a whirl. My first crocheted object was an amigurumi koala bear. For about six months after that, all I knew how to do was crochet in the round!
I’ve since always relied on my trusty hook to relieve stress, and what I call ‘computer neck’. Some days I dream of a time where I could lay in the sun and craft all day long. Although, I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to crochet with my hands slathered in 70 SPF sunscreen!
