We meet Jillian Hewitt of Spinayarn crochet – a new designer for the first Bella Coco Crochet subscription box!
When did you learn to crochet?
2013
And how did that turn into designing your own patterns?
I was excited at the thought of creating and sharing patterns of things I loved making with others!
What is your favourite thing to make?
Amigurumi!
Which colours do you love working with?
I love working with pastels.
Where do you find your inspiration?
From everywhere! Current trends, the maker community, life.
Which other designers do you admire?
So, so many! Stephanie from All About Ami, Sarah from Repeat Crafter Me, Lauren from A Menagerie of Stitches, Holly from Storyland Amis, Carla from Yalis and Yabos. The list goes on!
How many WIPs do you have?
Zero! (I try to stick to one project at a time and I’m currently in-between projects!)
Where is your favourite place to crochet?
The couch.
Who do you like to make crochet gifts for?
My nieces and nephew.
What piece of advice would you give to a new crocheter?
Just keep at it; with every stitch, your skills get a little bit sharper.
What are your crochet plans for 2019?
I’m excited to continue to design and release new free patterns on the blog. There may be some other exciting things in store too!
