A Threaded Reverie: Chapter 41 / crochet vlog, handmade Christmas, Etsy seller, Gandalf’s blue hat

Hi! My name is Aileen Robinson, and I decided to start sharing my life and artistic process more with you. If you are new to my neck of the fiber woods, welcome! If you’ve been a long time customer or follower (on other social medias), I hope you enjoy some of these behind the scenes moments. It’s maybe a little sporadic and chaotic, but I want to try to make it fun.

I learned to crochet when I was 9. I’m now 41 and have crocheted the whole time. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see or hear about in my next video.

Please, if you’ve appreciated this content and the art that I’m able to offer to people, consider becoming a patron. You’ll get all my unedited clips early before they make it into future YouTube videos, and better yet, you’ll know that you are helping a real working artist be able to make a living doing this. I will also be able to keep creating video content here on YouTube.
