about

My name is Pirjo and I love making: knitting, sewing, paper craft and most of all, I enjoy to crochet.  

The first thing I remember making was a crocheted cardigan for my very first Barbie doll at the age of eight back in the 1980’s. The cardigan was made of dark blue and dark red wool yarn and it didn’t go that well together with rest of the outfit she had. I can’t say I was smitten with either the cardigan or crochet back then. The crochet bug bit me much later, in 2009 when I crocheted a basket with t-shirt yarn. Gradually granny squares came along, crocheted toys and especially crocheted rugs. A couple of years ago I discovered tapestry crochet and it is pretty much what I have been exploring, learning and playing with ever since. 

I love the versatility of crochet, the fact that you can create so many different textures, shapes and patterns with a simple hook and a ball of yarn. I seem to be drawn to especially interior related pieces as well as crocheted accessories. The inspiration for my projects comes partly from nature, partly from the interior design world and partly from travels near and far. There is of course much to explore and to learn and this is the place I have archived my past projects and my learning process during the years.   

Hope you enjoy visiting here and find something to spark your creativity! I would also love if you have time to leave a short comment of your visit. Since this site will no longer be updated you can shoot me with an e-mail to: helenanhuone (at) proton.me.
