Hi! My name is Mary Alice and I love to crochet! I learned to make granny squares when I was 7 years old and haven’t put the yarn and hook down since. I love amigrumi because it’s so portable — I always have yarn and a hook in my purse and a project to make on the go! I am a full time Occupational Therapist with a passion for people and helping others find meaning in activities, just like I find meaning in crochet.
