Meet Claire Ortega, a Crochet Spot Blogger
By Claire Ortega-Reyes – 9 CommentsHello everyone! I am so happy to be here as part of the Crochet Spot team. Readers have been very warm and friendly!
A little something about me: During the day, I write for websites. During my free time, I crochet and dabble in other crafty things. Writing for Crochet Spot is the perfect combination of the things I was born to do!
| I love working with thread and worsted acrylic yarn (mostly because they’re the most widely available yarn options here in the Philippines). I like sharing my ideas and patterns with people. For me, the biggest compliment as a crocheter is when I encourage people to pick up their hooks! So far I’m winning over people in my workplace. When I crochet in public, some people get interested too (but I think most are a little scared of the girl with the pointy hook furiously working at a project, haha). |  |
Find more of my free patterns and crochet-y thoughts at my personal blog, The Artful Hooker. I’m addicted to Ravelry, too (so many oohable stuff and awesome people!). My username is clairethere; please add me up if you like. If you want to talk to me about anything, just leave a comment on my posts and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. 🙂
I was browsing your page and loved the christmas tree hat. do you have the pattern?
Hi Bananas! Thanks for the kind words. I made that hat last year and I just sort of winged it… I’ll see if I can recreate it in time for the holidays this year. I’ll be sharing it with everyone here if I do. 🙂
welcome claire! I’m an avid fan and follower of crochetspot! and it gets really exciting to find “hookers” like you hehe (excuse me for the term.. that’s how they often call crocheters in our area..)
Thanks Sheene! Yes, I’m one proud hooker. 😀
