Self-Taught Crocheter

A few years ago, I started watching crochet YouTube videos, and quickly became interested in the craft. The next day, I went out, bought some yarn, and sat down and locked in. It took me years to cultivate the skills I have today. I love making things with my hands and being able to be as creative as I like to be!
