I learnt how to crochet when I was about 10, my nan and mum taught me. I only started up again recently because my little girl wanted to make something, so I showed her how to finger knit. Whilst she did that I taught myself how to make a beanie and now I am making all sorts of things. I have lived in Rainbow for about 12 months now, my partner Dean and myself moved from Geelong to run the Eureka Hotel/Rainbow Brewery for his brother. I crocheted my wicket into a gum tree with a koala in it as it was the first thing that came to mind and thought it would look pretty cool.
