From a Childhood Passion to a Thriving Business
When I was young, my grandmother gifted me a crocheted afghan. It was beautiful, full of colors, and had a fun wavy pattern. I asked her to teach me how to make something so pretty that would also keep me warm. So she sat down to teach me the basics and let me tell you, it was difficult. My crochet lines were solid but I couldn't make a single square that didn't turn into a triangle (from missed stitches as I later learned).
Attempting a blanket seemed like a daunting task but I thought I would get there eventually. Then came my 5th grade entrepreneur market. I wanted to crochet, but with just a single line, what could I make? With some guidance from my mother, we turned that single line into a bookmark (back when we all read paper books) by adding small charms at the bottom and tags at the top. And there started my crochet empire! Not really, but I did make enough to take my family to dinner at McDonald's.
After that, I let crocheting go for many years until I was looking for a hobby and thought I would pick up crocheting again. I started making hats because they were smaller, simpler projects, and ended up with quite a collection of beanies. Then it was time to attempt more complicated projects.
Fast forward a few years and I turned my passion for crochet into this site and business. I have experimented with many products such as blankets, scarves (with pockets!), flowers, and art! Eventually I came across a pattern I turned into this Fidget Coral™ empire and it has only grown. From one to the many styles, sizes, and colors I create today, I have appreciated my journey and can't wait to make a Fidget Coral™ for you!
Excited to see what I make next? Me too!
