I began crocheting when I was 12 years old, and in 2007 I started the website Crochet Kitten as a way to share about two of my favorite things: crocheting and cats. At the time I was the mother to two cats and a Lhasa Apso, but my family has grown since then, and I now homeschool two free-spirited, creative daughters. As a side effect of homeschooling is the tendency to want to make everything educational, so too has Crochet Kitten become more focused on crochet skill enrichment and teaching.
