Hi Everyone. Welcome to my blog!
(I’m glad that you’re here.)
My name is Derya, (pronounced “dare-ree-ah”), and I am an OR nurse, a mother of a teenager, and also a crochet and knitting enthusiast. I also love macrame.
My crochet/knitting passion started when I was a child. I am originally from Turkey (pronounced “tur-key-a” in Turkish), from a small town on the Black Sea, where many people both crochet and knit. I used to go to housewife gatherings with my mom, to her friends’ homes or in their gardens, and everyone would be having tea and pastries together while crocheting and talking. It was very nice.
I love to crochet and knit in my free time. My job is sometimes stressful, and it is nice to have a hobby that relaxes me. I enjoy thinking of new projects, finding new ways to do different projects, and showing friends my completed projects. I often listen to music or favorite TV shows while I’m crocheting/knitting, or having tea while talking with “my two girls,” who usually hang out with me, sleeping next to my feet. I basically love everything about the process.
Crochet/knitting are very traditional in many parts of the world, and I can see no reason why this tradition should not continue.
I also love to draw, and recently I purchased a 1966 VW van, which is a long term project, to convert into a beautiful camper van. It will definitely have many of my crochet projects.
