Introduction - Crochet Community 🧶

Introduction - Get to know me!

Hi everyone. My name is Arielle! I’m 26, and an engineer gone SAHM. Welcome to my crafty corner here in Maine.

I’ve been crocheting for a little over a year at this point. For years, my mom begged me to crochet with her; but I was so busy with school, athletics, and other volunteer work. I mostly crochet hats, scarves, blankets, bags, etc. My goal this year is to crochet more clothing items, and maybe dabble in amigurumi.

Other hobbies of mine are reading, gaming with my husband, and baking. I’m rather granny in my hobbies as I have goals to start my garden, begin canning, and have my own chickens for this year.

Fun fact, Japanese is my second language!

I hope to find a community here on Lemon8 like I have on Instagram and TikTok. If you like, please join me there as well - @threadedzen
