Welcome

My name is Yvonne, I’m 49 and live in Germany with my teenage son and my partner. My mother taught me how to knit, crochet and sew when I was little, but I lost interest as a teenager and gave completely up on it. Then, about a dozen years later, I was pregnant, and kept seeing cute, handmade things for babies everywhere. So I went out, bought myself a beginner’s book for knitting and one for crochet. Added some cheap yarn and needles, and then I sat down with them.

It all came back to me rather effortlessly, despite the long time I hadn’t done it – some things just felt right. As most people, I began with simple scarves, but quickly branched out to baby hats, baby sweaters, socks for myself and many more things. I tried patterns and techniques and realised that it came easy to me.

Now I knit and crochet everything and anything that catches my fancy, design my own patterns and sell some of my creations here. I prefer straightforward designs that still look beautiful, either due to use of colour or a combination of stitch patterns.
