Nerdy Crochet LLC

In 2014, I taught myself how to crochet primarily through Youtube. It started with me watching Yarn Scrap Friday videos by Happy Berry Crochet hoping that one day I would be able to do the same thing and make my own toys. At the time I was only 10 years old and I thought that my classmates would judge me when I brought balls of yarn to school next to my lunch box and school work. However, the love for crochet soon consumed me and I found the area under my desk spilling out with yarn skeins. Soon my parents bought me a large bucket to place all the yarn I was buying.

The first amigurumi I ever crocheted was a 5 inch sphere made with this really beautiful green, blue and brown variegated acrylic yarn. Seeing the 3D object form in my hands rather than just scarfs and washcloths was addicting and I knew I had found myself a new hobby. This hobby would later turn into my business, Nerdy Crochet LLC. The next few toys I made were dolls from my own patterns. I could not read other people’s patterns at the time so I decided to create my own designs instead. The dolls are still in my stash today, although their arms have long since fallen off due to my sub-par sewing skills at the time.
