Meet Us!

Hi, y’all! I’m Admin Rachele, and I run crochet venture BabyLove Brand. When Admin Mary asked me to host this crochet-along with her, I was thrilled, because – like many of you all – I’ve had this design in my queue for a long time. Let’s crochet it together!

I live in Texas with my hunky husband and our three beautiful girls, along with two pitbulls and a tuxedo kitty. Reach me at babylovebrand.net for anything at all. I love to crochet and I’ll make time to chit-chat about patterns, techniques, colors, anything! 🙂

Hello there!  I’m Mary!  In my spare time as a high-school Math teacher, I like to crochet and sell all my little goodies on my etsy.  I love making hats for little ones, but I also enjoy making scarves and cowls, too.  In the summer, I get to relax and unwind (school is out!) and work on my other love:  crochet blankets!  I have been a long-time admirer of Mrs. BabyLoveBrand for quite some time now.  I have bought all her patterns and she has taught me so much!  I asked if she would like to crochet Bear’s Blanket with me… and a partnership was formed!  I hope to learn from my fellow crocheters and from Rachele and get to know a few new people.  I have tons of other ideas in my head… but more on that later!  Very exciting!

I live on the WI/IL border and have a great husband and a wonderful Jack Russell named Fronk.  (That is not a typo!)  I’m also a member of a local crochet guild.  I am always up for meeting new people and forming new friendships over the ol’ yarn ball, so contact me here, on my etsy, on my facebook, or on my website!

Hi everyone! I’m Destany!
I am 23 years old and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I have been married to my best friend for 3 years and we have an amazing 4 month old little boy.

I have been crocheting for about 2 and a half years. My stepmother taught me to crochet when I was younger, but I never really caught on. Then a couple years ago, I practically begged a friend of mine to re teach me after I saw a granny square bag hanging on the end cap of an aisle in Michaels and I just HAD to make it! And I haven’t really put my hook down since (:

My crocheting is mostly recreational and it is one of my favorite hobbies. I think crocheting hats and beanies is the niche I kinda fell into, though I do make other items as well. I’ve never done anything of this magnitude though, just a simple square exchange and I have a few videos posted on YouTube.

I am overwhelmed at the response my little square has generated! Never did I think that something I made would become so popular so quickly. I hope that I will be able to answer any questions you may have and I am very excited to start this new adventure with you all!
