All Things Granny

Octopus Baby Blanket Granny Square
"All Things Granny came to be out of a love for crochet design, and a need to bring the traditional granny square design into the 2000's with the use of color and other embellishments. I have enjoyed working with clients to make heirloom quality merchandise that adds that extra special touch to their baby's nursery, and also to the baby's first photo session. My husband Bruce is an integral part of All Things Granny. Besides being the support system that guides me in life, he is also the guy who does all of the shipping for our shop. All Things Granny is located in the Southern most part of Arizona, in the desert mountains surrounded by the most beautiful landscape that fuels the design process for my work. Working from home is just part of the dream I call.... Life !!"

"My name is Yael, I'm a professional industrial designer and a partner in a design firm called Baribua(.com).
My work demands a lot of creativity, but since all the work is done on the computer, it leaves my hands "starving". For many years I was looking for an era in which I could create my final designs in my own hands.
Naturally, I never really had the time to look for it. But then, luckily, life summoned me with a relocation period to Switzerland, not designing for a while, left me with a growing hunger which led me into taking a jewelry course. The course was a big success, I went back home by the end of the first day in ecstasy, I haven’t felt that way for a long time. I started carrying my sketch book with me everywhere, designing new pieces.
The reactions of my friends at the international school my kids went to, were very encouraging, the mom's just loved my designs, first orders came in and I was so happy. I established a little atelier at home, and started exploring new techniques and fine tuning my skills.
Meantime, that great pause has ended and I'm back home, back in my design firm, meaning again I didn’t have much time for my jewelry work.
But again, life summoned me with a jeweler that saw my work, loved it and asked to put it on display at his shop. I was reminded again how much I love creating jewelry and decided I will not neglect it.
So here I am, in my new etsy shop, hoping you will love my stuff and encourage me to create more and more.
I invite you to visit me from time to time and see what's new."

Crochet...

I got this book from the library, the other day. I'm going to attempt to teach myself how to crochet. I have attempted this several times in the past, already. This time I'll take it seriously and really try to learn. I'd love to make some doll clothes or some adorable little amigurumis some day. I need to find out what a good starting size is for a crochet hook, a standard size. Wish me luck!
