As we’ve slowly been putting back some focus on our business, there have been some things I’ve learned that will change our approach.

Hello dear friends, it has been too long! Looking back at what we left you with, we are shocked we haven’t published anything since April 2018! Yet, that is when life started changing for us here at FGG Designs.
The last two weeks we have been looking at the history of crochet; the overall history and Lydia’s personal history. Now it’s time to switch gears and look at some more practical information (not that the history wasn’t practical). This episode is going to be focused on our thoughts revolving around all things crochet and we will be discussing things such as the usefulness of crochet, the benefits of it, and how it differs from other crafts like sewing or knitting.
Last week was the first episode in our new “getting started in crochet” series, where we looked at the general history of crochet. This week we are taking things a step further by looking at Lydia’s personal history with crochet, where it all began for her.
