Crochet
My crochet project began as rest and medicine in the middle of the holy mess that was burnout.
It gave life a little more meaning when I was bedridden.
I started experimenting with jasmine stitches and eventually developed my own pattern, which I named Floral Chains – a combination of jasmine stitch and an old lace motif.
Still, crochet itself isn’t the main focus of this project – the voice behind it is.
I don’t think I’m the only one who’s been told:
“If you have the energy to crochet, you should be able to work.”
I’m currently working on an e-book that brings together patterns, everyday wisdom (and everyday crashes), and dry humor:
Crochet – the miracle cure for almost everything.
The book mainly features my own pattern, and I hold a registered design for textiles made with Floral Chains.
Floral Chains has become my signature – quite literally – and got its name long before I knew how I’d use it.
Now, both my business and logo carry that name. You can read more about that here: Floral Chains AS
The outline of the book is ready, but it will take some time to quality-check the patterns and finalize everything.
In the meantime, feel free to browse through some of the designs featured in the book.
And if you’d like to be a pattern tester, I’d love to hear from you!
