Bio
Hello My name is Crystal, I am the owner and designer behind Crochet a Memory. I am a wife, stay at home mother of 4, a fourth generation crochet artist, as well as a Choctaw Registered Artist with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
My love of crochet began at a very young age. I remember fondly getting my very own hooks and a skein of yarn for my 5th birthday from my grandmother. My mother and grandmother spent countless hours showing me the correct way to hold my yarn and hook, how to read patterns, and how to execute each stitch. I spent just as many hours practicing and asking questions.
Over 30 years later, that same grandmother was my inspiration in starting Crochet a Memory
I will for always be grateful to my mother and grandmother for passing on their the love and knowledge of crochet to me. I also look forward to them helping me pass the same love and knowledge on to my children.
