Cabinet of Curious Crafts

Cabinet of Curious Crafts Cabinet of Curious Crafts, a place to buy creative crochet fashion and homewares, and learn to crochet with in-person workshops.

I love to crochet and design my own patterns, which I sell online as well as use to teach the attendees at my crochet workshops. I am a vegan and like to be as environmentally friendly as possible so only use cruelty free yarns in my products. I first started to crochet as a hobby when I was between jobs; I loved creating useful and fun items from nothing more than a ball of yarn and a hook. It so

on became an addiction and now I sell accessories, amigurumi and custom orders on Etsy, Our Wee Makers, and in Midtown Makers, Ballymena. I grew up in North Wales and loved the sea and walking in the hills. I have always been creative and enjoyed making pompoms, learning French knitting and taking part in the Welsh arts festival – the Eisteddfod; singing, dancing and reciting poetry. Then I lived in Liverpool with my partner Emma, our 2 cats and my large yarn stash. After 20 years of city life, we packed up and moved to the Northern Irish countryside. I work mostly from home where I can crochet on the sofa and drink tea. I also run classes teaching people to crochet and progress their skills – check events section for workshops.
