Consolidating everything from my mom and my Etsy/Tedooo/Instagram has been on the agenda for a while so here is the result! This site will be the centerpiece for all of our crochet and knit creations, excess yarn for sale, and free fiber art tutorials that you may want or need!
This is the first post on the new site! What is a better way to kick everything off by doing a formal introduction! Hi my name is Mel and I have been crocheting for a little over a year, and knitting for about a month. I am still learning every day about working with yarn, but I enjoy every second of the journey. My mom has been crocheting for the majority of her life (ever since I was born) and brings a plethora of knowledge to the table. That being said, both of us still love to try new things and try to learn as much as possible about the wonderful world of fiber arts. The freedom that comes with being able to create with yarn is wonderful, and I want to share this freedom with anyone who wants to learn. We were both born and raised in the Midwestern United States- hence the name! Hopefully that is easy enough to remember!
Both of us have a touch of ADHD (maybe a little more than a touch) and will try to create whatever pattern we fancy. Everything from amiguri, human wear-ables, pet wear-ables, blankets, dishcloths, etc. the list grows every year…. See below for some of the items that I have made in just one year of learning to crochet!
**As a general note: working with yarn is in my blood and I took to it like a fish to water. I also had the most wonderful crochet master to teach me from the beginning. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED if you need a little more time to build up your skills. Learning to crochet and knit takes time and might look a little different for each person. If it works for you and feels right, go ahead and keep doing it even if it differs from how I do it! This is supposed to be a fun hobby to keep your hands busy 🙂 no need for extra pressure on yourself! The tutorials on this site will be available to all who need it to help build your own skill set! My mom and I will be as available as possible to help answer any questions you may have as well. Do not hesitate to reach out, even if it is to say hello 🙂 We both love meeting new people (especially others interested in fiber arts)!!
Later on we will also start selling the excess yarn that we have in our stash, along with any skeins that have been rescued from other stashes. Keep an eye out! I know that someone will be able to give this yearn a better home than we can <3
