I am originally a Training and Development Professional with 14+ years experience in coordinating and delivering training for organisations. My love for crochet spanned my career as I learnt how to crochet when I was 12 and I had to rekindle this gift when I realised how challenging the job market had become with employers focused solely on providing contract employment. When one of the organisation’s that I worked for decided it was closing its doors, I decided that it was time to turn my gift into a business and so Simply Crochet was born. The focus of the business has changed based on customer demand, from a focus on making bags and jewelry to a focus on making jewelry and special order items. Additionally I now offer crochet training at the Beginner and Advanced Levels.
