Against All Odds

I found a passion for crochet design when I was in my mid-twenties but was told I couldn’t do it for a living. Everyone around me said it wasn't serious. Right then, I swore to myself that I would prove them wrong. Not long after, I was voted as the best new crochet designer and I phoned my mom to share the exciting news. I said, "Hey, I have some awesome news! I was voted as the best new crochet designer, it's like an Oscar, only for crochet!" I was so happy, but at that moment my world fell apart. The response I got from her was, "Hmm, ok... and when are you thinking of finally getting a real job?" You can imagine how everything collapsed inside of me that second. When I received acceptance for my first publication, holding the magazine in my hands, I thought, ‘I hope everyone who said I wouldn't make it sees that it is more than possible!’ I was told I'd never make it as a professional textile designer, but I didn't listen to them. Now, I've been featured in numerous publications, made garments for New York Fashion Week, and my dream of releasing my first crochet pattern book came true on September, 2023! I have poured my heart and soul into this book, and I would like to invite you to celebrate with me!
