My name is Cecily, and this is my story of crocheting.

---How I started Crocheting:
I have been crafting since I was little; creative as could be. Sometimes painting things that shouldn't be painted, and expressing through crafts. I naturally picked up crafts and creative hobbies; from wood burning, to friendship bracelets. I even sold friendship bracelets on the pool deck as a kid, making custom bracelets for my friends and family in the summers before and after swim practice. I even took orders, and charged a few dollars for each one. I was 14.

One day, I took my mom's dusty knitting needles and let my creativity soar. With access to countless youtube videos and some yarn, I taught myself to knit in 2015 and made my first project; a scarf. Among the videos for knitting, I found crochet tutorials and gave one a watch and taught myself to crochet.

--Why I chose "SkeinWreck Studio":
I built SkeinWreck Studio as an expression of my love of crafting.

Pronounced like "trainwreck", SkeinWreck Studio is a creative expression of yarn crafting, and is my way of flipping what was an insult, into the idea that from my mess can come something creative and beautiful; an art. It took years of "wrecking" skeins of yarn to harness a skill, and it is okay to be yourself and express yourself authentically.

I aim for SkeinWreck Studio to be a shop where new, unique usable art that are the result of my authenticity, hopefully inspiring others to love and embrace others and to be authentic.
