Hello, I'm Sarah ...
... I'm 33 years old, a passionate crocheter and yarn lover.
After completing all the 1000-pieces jigsaw-puzzles during a stay in a psychiatrical ward in the second half
of 2020, I urgently needed to find a new, fulfilling and calming
activity.
That's when my great passion for crocheting was born.
How it all began...
I started out with very simple scarves and lots of small, circular bags.
In May 2021, after having been discharged from the hospital, I started my first major project: my first crochet blanket based on a pattern by Lucy (Attic 24), a British crochet designer and blogger.
The rest is history...
... as the saying goes. With each crochet project I got to know and love new types of stitches and expanded my skills and repertoire little by little.
I have been back in my hometown since mid-2021 and of course I didn't leave my passion for crocheting behind when I moved back to Hanover. Crocheting has become my favorite form of expression, alongside music and writing. It helps me switch off my very active mind and relax a bit, yet it never gets boring. This could also be because I usually have 5-10 different projects as work in progress...
What happened next?
In autumn 2023, after having gifted my crocheted works to all kinds of family members and friends - whether they wanted to have them or not - I decided to turn my hobby into a side hussle and registered a small business.
A rainbow...
...doesn't just add color to the gray moments in life. For me as a queer woman, the rainbow as a symbol takes up a special place in my life and heart and of course also in crocheting. I started including the rainbow in my crochet projects by making rainbow-colored wrist warmers. Later, I also added rainbow themed bags and keychains to the colorful mix.
In spring 2024, I made a series of heart keychains in the colors of the various Pride flags for our local pride parade. They have been an integral part of my crochet repertoire ever since.
So what now?
About a year after registering my small business, the time has finally come for me to launch my own website with a webshop!
I'm very excited and am looking forward to seeing where this journey will take me in the coming months and years. I'm beyond happy that you're here to join me for the ride!
Let's do this!
Sarah
