What do you create? How did you get started and what motivated you to start?
I create crochet plushies. I was motivated to learn to crochet when I wanted to reduce my waste using crochet items. I have since expanded my skills into making crochet plushies, but have still stuck to my roots by producing as little waste as possible when creating.
