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

Are you looking to join a vibrant crochet community? Crocheting has seen a resurgence in popularity, appealing to both beginners and seasoned crafters. It's not just a hobby; it's a delightful way to express creativity and connect with others. With platforms like Lemon8, you can share your projects, seek advice, and find inspiration from fellow crocheters across the globe. Many crocheters find joy in collaborative projects or learning new techniques, such as amigurumi—a fun and engaging way to create adorable stuffed animals. As you embark on your own crocheting journey, consider joining online forums or local groups where you can exchange ideas and resources with other yarn enthusiasts. Moreover, don't forget to explore various yarn types, colors, and patterns that can elevate your creations from simple to stunning! This year, set personal goals like learning new stitches or starting exciting projects like apparel. Don’t shy away from incorporating your other passions too, such as gardening and baking, into your crafting journey. By fostering creativity across hobbies, you cultivate not only your skills but also enrich your life experiences. So, let’s crochet, connect, and create beautiful memories together!

Did you know there was such thing as a granny rectangle!? It doesn’t get as much love as the square but I think it’s just as cool. This would be the perfect stitch for a bookmark, or a blanket. It’s super simple too! It’s perfect when you don’t want to focus so much on counting stitches and row
