A lil' about me...
My name's Kikine and I'm French Canadian. I live in West Sussex with my English husband Dan which I met while living in Whistler, BC.
I taught myself how to knit about 5 years ago, making lots of scarves at first, until one of our visits to Quebec where my grandma taught me how to knit a pair of socks. She's actually won sock knittin' awards! My hero. I do make a pretty good cozy pair of socks thanks to her patience.
And thus began my love affair with wool. I am well and truly addicted.
I learned to crochet while doing a season in El Colorado, Chile a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since. I spent all of my spare time making beanies when we came back...the colour combos were endless! Pick up a hook and learn to crochet...you'll know what I mean! I work in a ski & snowboard shop and my boss was/is kind enough to let me sell my beanies there. They sold really well that first season so with the pennies I made I was able to order more wool and also create a tag to sew onto each hat. I still order all my yarn from the same man I used to buy from in Chile, it's super soft and he's got loads of colours for me to choose from!
Between my love for crocheting and all the positive feedback I've received, I'm really excited to now have a website to spread the goodness worldwide! I absolutely love creating people's ideas, so please email me with yours. I still find it amazing what beautiful things can come from a hook and ball of wool.
Thanks for visiting my website and taking the time to read my story, hope to hear from you soon!
