I’m very excited today to be sharing with you an interview with Amy Ting, creator of Curious Papaya. I’m so happy that Amy and her team reached out to me because now I have found a very talented designer that is truly inspirational to me! It turns out that Amy and I have some things in common.

For those of you who are plant lovers, or who love to work up amigurumi, this is the designer interview for you! Samantha is an amazing artist who designs both adorably cute patterns, and ones that are super realistic as well. I first found Samantha on Instagram, and I found her creations really inspirational as they were so realistic and at the same time, so fun too. I really love plants, and Samantha’s patterns allow you to add them to any space where plants might otherwise suffer.| Pretty In Crochet
I have long admired the work of Maisey and Dawn from Me Oh My Crochet. This mother and daughter team create adorable designs using bright colours, the granny square/strip style and a ton of creativity! Every time they pop up on my Instagram feed, I am sucked into scrolling their feed (page?) and seeing what other cute designs they have. And I’m always delighted by the creations of little bags, trinket trays, seasonal items and their amazing eye for colour and detail. | Pretty In Crochet
I’m back today with another interview with a designer!

I admire the unique stitch patterns Ashtin uses and have been working on her Ma’s Prairie Shawl in a lovely tweed yarn and loving the way it works up.| Pretty In Crochet
