Louise, the Red Haired Amazona

Hello Lovelies!  My name is Louise from Melbourne, Australia and I am the Red Haired Amazona.

Ok, so the Red Haired part is true, maybe not so much the Amazona as I’m more short and pudgy than tall and athletic and I’d rather not live in the jungle unless it has wi-fi and a barista.  But aren’t we all Amazonas? Yes!

Most women get pregnancy cravings for vegemite or pickles. But when I was pregnant with my 16-year-old, I developed a craving for crochet. I asked my crafty aunt to teach me and I haven’t stopped since! 

I design crochet patterns for a wide range of things including mandalas, amigurumi (particularly birds!), homeware accessories, scarves, hats, blankets, cushion covers, jewellery and wrist cuffs. I love bright, zingy colours and have a preference for cottons.

I'm the Mother of Dragons. I raise 2 crazy Sonofaguns as a single, working parent. I began blogging in November 2014 to share the crochet ideas that sprout inside my noggin like homegrown carrots and the funny and lovely stuff that happens in life.
