How It Got Started
My home is full of YARN
& my hero Mr Bloos
5 incredible little women
2 rather mature cats
2 crazy kittens
Puppy Frank
& of course my Boo
Chairs are for sharing
A minute's peace is unheard of
But there is an abundance of LOVE
Joodybloos is the business name I imagined many years ago, in 1988, whilst studying Art & Design in 6th form. My Grandmother, known as Gladdy, taught me to crochet when visiting on Sundays. I was inspired by her fabulous creations. In my early 30's my Grandmother died at the grand age of 97. I inherited her hooks and used library books to improve my crochet skills and knowledge. In my 40's I attended crochet classes with the fabulous Gina Couch. She helped me to find my crochet wings and fly.
I fell in love with Amigurumi, inspired by my youngest daughter's desire to cuddle soft toys. I also love creating things for our home (can a home have too many blankets?)
Once my youngest began to settle into school, I decided to create the little business I had dreamt of all those years ago. I created Gladdy's Yarnbox as a legacy to my formidable Grandmother and I am now beginning to grow my collection of crochet patterns under the name Joodybloos. I hope that you enjoy them and I would love to hear from you with feedback and photos of your work. Message me on Instagram or Facebook or direct to my email joodybloos@yahoo.com
