Cherry Girl Crafts was founded in 2023, driven by my overwhelming urge to make more things. I relocated from the depths of Washington DC to the outer suburbs of NYC during the COVID-19 pandemic, and decided to go full suburban.
That’s right, I immediately went and picked up (1) a Costco membership, (2) a vendetta against the local fauna that ate my vegetable garden, (3) estate sale FOMO, and (4) enough space that I could try all kinds of fun new crafts.
I like to combine crafts in unexpected ways. I grew up with cross-stitch, and I still design an occasional pattern that brings this 2000+ year-old art form into the internet age.
More often, I like to combine chainmail techniques and crochet to make accessories that have the softness and whimsy of fiber arts with the hard edges of chainmail.
I want everyone to have as much fun playing with yarn and metal as I do. I hope you feel more confident in your own crafts after spending some time with me, and I know you’ll help me get better!
