crochets

HI Im Christine aka Teenie,

​

​My crochet journey started in 2012 when like so many unfortunate people I began to suffer with chronic anxiety. This debilitating condition eventually forced me to leave my management position in the private healthcare industry.

​

Having no job left me with many more hours in the day, which I needed to fill. I had to distract myself from the debilitating anxious thoughts - and learning to crochet became that distraction for me.

​

I was instantly in love with my new hobby, I watched 100's of hours of YouTube tutorials, read all the books I could get my hands on, and even enlisted the help of my 80 year old Nan who had crocheted socks in the 2nd world war!

​

Things got serious pretty quickly after that. My husband designed my very own craft room with yarn storage. I bought and taught myself how to use a video camera, and through some trial and error I even learnt how to edit videos on my laptop. This allowed me to record and put together my own video tutorials for other people who were looking for a distraction from their own lives.

​

Now 10 years on my little hobby has grown into my very own small business, and I love it! I now create patterns, run live tutorials, record YouTube videos and create custom plushies. I went from having too many hours in the day to not having enough.

​

Crochet (as cheesy as it sounds) was the light at the end of my tunnel, it gave me back my purpose, and now I get to share that purpose with you.

​

Much Love,

Teenie xxx
