Oh hey! I'm Ciara!

I’m Ciara, and I have been knitting since I was 6 years old or younger. I only came to crochet a few years ago, when problems with my shoulders made it difficult for me to knit. Since then I have been crocheting and designing crochet projects. In recovery from a long career as an academic, I now write crochet patterns and fiction. Both involve imagining something fantastic, then figuring out how to communicate it simply and clearly so others can follow along, so quite similar activities, really.
