Nerdy Crochet LLC

The first amigurumi I ever crocheted was a 5 inch sphere made with this really beautiful green, blue and brown variegated acrylic yarn. Seeing the 3D object form in my hands rather than just scarfs and washcloths was addicting and I knew I had found myself a new hobby. This hobby would later turn into my business, Nerdy Crochet LLC. The next few toys I made were dolls from my own patterns. I could not read other people’s patterns at the time so I decided to create my own designs instead. The dolls are still in my stash today, although their arms have long since fallen off due to my sub-par sewing skills at the time.

Once I was able to read other people’s patterns, I began to teach others. I started with my close friends and people in my class who had begun to envy my crochet rather than make fun of it. Learning to teach others was challenging but worth it as I saw the understanding in their face and the same excitement when a toy began to form in their hands. From there I made my own patterns. I found that creating nerdy patterns such as LEDs, chemistry kits, and biology blood cell kits was what I was most interested in doing.
