Hello all and welcome to my page Rosebug Crochet Designs! This page is all about my shop and the things I develop, make, and create through crocheting and I am excited to share it all with you. Here is a little bit about me first,
My name is Erin Snyder and I am hooked on crocheting. When I was eleven years old, I wanted to make something for my mother that Christmas. I had observed how people co
uld make lovely things like scarves, hats, and even some advanced things like shirts and sweaters; but the most I could make was a bead necklace. I know my mother would love it only because it was from me but I knew she would only wear it once and then tuck it away in a drawer. I wanted to make something that she would really appreciate from me and use or wear more than one time. That's when I went to my father for some advice on what to do. I had never heard of this before and he said that he would go to the store and pick up some material so he could show me what it was. The next day he came back from shopping with three skeins of yarn and a crochet hook. This all looked so strange to me but when he started showing me how to do it, it soon turned into a lot of fun. It was still so new and I was slow when it came to the movements of my hands and getting the stitches right but I worked hard at it every day until just a few days before Christmas when I completed my project. I held my very first crochet scarf in my hands and it looked beautiful. When Christmas day came and my mother opened her gift she was amazed at my work. My father was also amazed since he hadn't seen it before that day. They both gave me wonderful compliments on it and told me that I should keep making more items. Now that nine years have gone by and I have gained more experience to enhance my skill and now I feel confident enough to share my art with the world. I want people to enjoy my products as much as I love making them for others. The things that I have been making over the years are scarves, afghans, beanies, baby blankets baby beanies and even dog toys. Recently, I have decided to go a different route though and have started creating amigurumi items. These basically are dolls and other cute things that are crochet and stuffed. I find this to be a bit more fun and cute than just making blankets and so have been spending the past couple months experimenting and testing out patterns. It has been quite a fun experience and one day hope to develop my own patterns. Speaking of patters, I also have recently been developing some for scarves and blankets. They are still in the making but I have been testing out many different kinds of patterns I have come up with to make sure they work so they can be published. I cannot wait to share my products with you all and I really hope you enjoy them just as much as I do.
