About Yellow Duck Crochet & Knits
my Story
I've loved crafting and creating since I was a child. The pandemic became a chance for me to learn new skills, and my love of fiber arts (I was an avid cross-stitcher before I picked up a hook or long needles) led me to teach myself how to knit. And then another crafter convinced me to try crochet.
I spent almost the entirety of a trip to London crocheting the same little duck pattern over and over and over again. Learning. Adjusting. Perfecting. And I got to give those little ugly ducklings to the cast of a play I went to. I had a ton of different colors for the cast and crew asked them all to choose one. My favorite actor chose yellow. And thus, Yellow Duck Crocket & Knits was born.
