One Skein Of Love Designs

Crafts have always been part of my life. As far as I remember there were always hooks, needles, yarn and fabrics around me, as my mother and grandmother were devoted crocheters, knitters and quilters.

My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was around 8 years old. I started making simple dresses for my dolls and then moved on to granny square cushions. I loved playing with yarns and colors, creating crazy colorful pillows. I had the toughest teacher you can imagine. A stitch not perfectly made was to frog without arguing. I crocheted a lot with thread and a 1.75mm hook, something hard for me to make these days.

During my adolescence years I put crochet aside and knit as if there was a no tomorrow. My mother was my teacher as she was a great knitter. But 10 years ago, I discovered the pleasure of crochet again and since then there is not a single day that I don’t grab my hook and my crochet wip.

When I joined Instagram in 2015, I met lovely crocheters from all over the world. I started testing for some of them and among the creations I made with their designs I also posted my own creations, but I never thought of becoming a crochet designer. I was motivated by those fellow crocheters to write and publish my own designs. Join One Skein Of Love on Facebook to stay up to date with new releases, pattern support and inspiration.
