Hello Crochet enthusiasts! It's time for another exciting episode with yours truly, Christa, from The Secret Yarnery. In this blog, I'll take you on a journey through Episode 28, where we dive into the colorful world of crochet, share some personal anecdotes, and connect with our vibrant community.
First things first, let me introduce myself. I'm Christa, your friendly host, hailing all the way from Nairobi, Kenya. With 17 years of residency in this beautiful country, I've found my passion for crochet and built a home in this vibrant community.
From cozy blankets to adorable baskets, I've been busy hooking away to craft delightful pieces for my loved ones. The satisfaction of completing a project, like the "Scraptastic" blanket for my little ones, fills me with joy. And let's not forget the ongoing C2C project, which I'm transforming into a stylish sweater or cardigan. With each stitch, I'm crafting not just garments but memories.
One of the most rewarding aspects of hosting this podcast is the opportunity to engage with our wonderful community. In the Q&A segment, I address questions ranging from my family's hobbies to the education system in Kenya. It's a chance to connect, share insights, and learn from each other's experiences. And speaking of community, I'm immensely grateful for the warm reception and support we've received, culminating in a milestone of 10,000 subscribers! It's a testament to the power of connection and the love for all things crochet.
As a bonus treat, I take you on a virtual tour through the streets of Nairobi, offering glimpses of daily life and local sights. From bustling markets to serene landscapes, Nairobi is a tapestry of colors and cultures. As I navigate the roads, sharing anecdotes and observations, you'll get a taste of the vibrant energy that defines this city. And who knows, you might even spot a Matatu or two, the iconic minibusses that are a quintessential part of Nairobi's urban landscape.
In conclusion,this podcast has been a delightful journey filled with creativity, community, and exploration. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or just dipping your toes into the world of yarn, there's something for everyone in our cozy corner of the internet. So grab your hooks, settle in with a cup of tea, and join me for the next episode as we unravel more tales from the world of crochet!
Stay hooked, Christa

Dive into my review of wooden yarn holders from AliExpress and see how they stack up. Perfect for crochet enthusiasts needing a smoother crafting experience, I evaluate budget-friendly options like the $6 Bamboo Yarn Holder and the $11.70 Magnetic Yarn Holders. Find out which holder spins effortlessly and which one falls short. Should you add these to your crochet toolkit? Let's find out!
The of the easiest way to make a beautiful baby blanket! So fun to make.
This works up so beautifully!! The pattern is easy to read; the placemat is gorgeous, and the YouTube video is great. Thank you!!
The scarf looks lovely but I cannot give a review as i have not made it yet and I cannot comment whether the pattern is easy to read pattern.
I love the pattern I haven’t started it yet I’m excited about getting started on it
I love all secret tragedies patterns. Can't wait to start one. Thank you Christa.

I love how this spiral pattern worked up. Ready to just keep going and only watching my stitch marker move up with me. I am going to try this pattern with different yarns for light to heavy hats.
Easy pattern to follow and understand. Great scarf for spring, Summer and Fall. If you use cotton yarn, you can wear it with everything everyday! Thanks Secret Yarnery! Eileen
In fact very easy to do
I bit the bullet (a quilter of 20 years), admitted that crochet also takes experience to succeed. So, I tried "The Secret Yarnery" pattern for Granny Square beginners. It was stress free, fun and I learned a lot about tension. And I now have a beautiful baby afghan for my new granddaughter. Thank you to the Secret Yarnery!
Everything I need in one place to be creative and I can photocopy extras of the pages I use most to customise my planning. I use it as my main diary, even for work and upcoming events. It inspires me to focus on my creative pursuits too. Love it!
Love this item going to put little gifts in it on the tree ,just tying in tails.
I am really impressed with the quality of this written pattern as well as the video tutorial. Both are clear and detailed. I am not done with my striped cardigan yet, but it's coming together nicely (though I'm not so sure about my choice to use up yarn I already have with individual stripes!)... so many tails to sew in!! My advice would be to buy self-striping yarn like she does in the video.
Easy to follow pattern! Super base for the rectangle or other larger projects.
Keep the tutorials coming and with written and visual instructions to follow along so beginners can learn. Thank you for your help.
