My Etsy Seller of the Week is Krokrolamb. Kim sells amigurumi, doilies and patterns. I recently bought a pink amigurumi from her and it's so cute! The details are all perfect and it looks really nice and stylish. I'm in love with the little rabbit and will definitely get another one of her creations as soon as possible.
I asked Kim a few questions about her work and the shop.
1) Could you tell me a bit more about your background?
I’m a graphic and web designer for the past 8 years. Crocheting has
definitely given me the chance to express my creativity off the computer
screen and allows me to delve into this magical handcrafting world. It
is very therapeutic for me and always bring me back fully to the
present.
2) How and where did you learn your craft?
It all first started when I was drawn to the intricacies of doilies at craft markets and I’m always amazed at how it is created by just one long continuous thread. And soon I discovered and fell in love with Amigurumi. That’s when I know I’ve to learn how to make them myself. I've learnt some basic stitches from a friend many years ago while crocheting a simple shawl, so it wasn’t too hard to pick it up again though I did have to refresh my knowledge a little through the internet. It was so fun and I’ve never stopped ever since!
3) What do you like best about selling on Etsy?
Creating my own handmade items and sharing them with the world is a joy.
Starting Krokrolamb at Etsy in mid 2012 has given me that very platform
and I relish in every moment of it.
4) Where do you find your inspiration?
My works are inspired by the simple joy in life and all things nature, with a hint of whimsy and innocence.
5) What are your future plans for your shop?
Now that I’m committing more time to my shop, I’ll be continuously
creating new designs and am excited to bring them to life. I’ll also be
adding more patterns to my shop so that more people can enjoy this
beautiful craft. It’s been a wonderful journey creating all the pieces
and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. ♥
