A bit about lichelle
For as long as I can remember, crafting has been my favorite past time. I learned to crochet in my 20s and added knitting to my repertoire a few years later. Soon thereafter, I discovered the joy of making my own shawl pins. I was pleasantly surprised when they where well-received at local craft fairs & fibre festivals! While attending fiber events, I was inspired to start designing my own patterns. My goal is to design patterns that are fun, quick knits which show the variety of items shawl pins can be worn on. It is beyond a dream come true to be able to help support my family while doing something I enjoy. Thank you for your support!
