L'Art du Crochet

Lebanon

Crochet is hand knitting with a hook and thread, in addition to a lot of imagination and a person’s artistic touch. I am 46 years old and started crocheting 6 years ago. I learned crochet at first at home, as it is inherited in my family, my mother and my aunts have been knitting since childhood. So I started learning crochet on my own, and two years later, I decided to get a certificate in manual work. Besides crochet, I also learned embroidery, beadwork, dolls made of cloth and leather bags. But I completed the crochet work, as it makes me feel happy and comfortable every time I finish crocheting a piece. I started making a key holder and then tablecloths with decorative items for kitchens of all kinds. Then I sewed shawls and bonnies for adults and children until I got to know the T-shirt yarn, so I started weaving the different purses and baskets with it. In the end, I reached the world of amigurumi, where I started making toys, which I currently find indescribable fun, especially that you can do a lot of innovations whether it is playing with colors or adding my own touches to each piece.
