Hi there, and welcome to my cozy corner of the internet! I’m Barbara Boisjoli, a self-taught crocheter with over 20 years of experience, and I’m thrilled to have you here. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just picking up your first hook, I hope this blog becomes a source of inspiration, creativity, and a few smiles along the way.
A Little About My Crochet Journey
I first picked up a crochet hook when I was just 10 years old, but my initial attempts were far from successful—I found it quite challenging and set it aside. It wasn’t until my 20s, when I received a thoughtful crochet gift, that I was inspired to give it another try. That gift reignited my passion for the craft, and since then, crochet has become a cherished part of my life. It’s more than just a relaxing hobby for me; it’s a powerful form of self-expression and a creative outlet that brings me immense joy. Each stitch and pattern allows me to explore my creativity and unwind, making crochet a truly fulfilling and enjoyable pursuit.
Why I Started Artful Yarn Works
After years of crocheting for myself, friends, and family, I realized that there’s nothing I enjoy more than sharing my creations and connecting with others who love this craft as much as I do. That’s why I decided to start Artful Yarn Works. This blog is my way of sharing not only the patterns I’m designing (like my beloved one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater amigurumi) but also the lessons I’ve learned, the tips and tricks I’ve picked up, and the joy I find in every stitch.
What You’ll Find Here
On Artful Yarn Works, you’ll find a variety of content that reflects my love for crochet and crafting. I’m currently learning to write my own patterns, and I’m excited to share this journey with you, including both the successes and challenges along the way. You’ll also get a glimpse into my exploration of other crafts, like cross-stitch, which complements my love for crochet. Personal stories about my experiences with yarn and creativity will be a regular feature, offering insight and inspiration from my own crafting journey. I hope this blog becomes a source of motivation and enjoyment as we explore the world of handmade creations together.
