I’m Kathy, from Sydney Australia and I love all things crochet.

I’m married with three young adult children, a senior cat and a veggie garden. I also have an accounting practice and I work mostly from home.

I first learned to crochet when my young daughter found a cute fruit bat online and insisted she wanted it. It was a pattern only and I didn’t crochet. Oh no!

After much negotiation and good behaviour from her, I agreed to give it a try. I almost gave up when I couldn’t make a magic ring. But it eventually turned into a bat, not a very good one but still cute. It’s posted in my Projects as a keepsake.

My daughter still has the fruit bat and she takes credit for my discovery of crochet. Both of my daughters are excellent crocheters too. It’s a beautiful thing we share.
