HodgePodge Crochet

A passion for crochet

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Tanya Naser, the resident Yarnologist here in HodgePodge Crochet!!

I began crocheting as a young child, marveling over the freehand dolls my mother would create every Christmas, seemingly out of thin air. She didn’t follow a pattern book or know why some stitches were called single while others were double and triple. But the thing I most admired was that she never worried too much about what other crocheters thought. She did what she loved and every year I delighted as the small army of dolls she lovingly created marched out of our house and into the arms of her eager customers!

These days, her crochet style would be considered freeform by die-hards of the craft and I’m proud to say that HodgePodge Crochet was born out of that organic beginning.

Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time learning and mastering new techniques and building upon my own free flowing style to come up with something that represents the crocheter I’ve become.

I feel that my style is represented in every stitch of every pattern I create. HodgePodge Crochet is my passion—and I mean that quite literally.
