Jennifer Pionk of A Crocheted Simplicity: Designer Showcase!

Something spooky this way comes… spooky good crochet that is: it’s time for October 2016’s Designer Showcase! I like to wrap up most months by having one of my fellow designers share a bit about themselves, and then I follow it up by sharing my 5 favorite free patterns that they’ve designed! This month I get to share just a few of the gorgeous designs from the delightful Jennifer Pionk –  blogger and designer behind A Crocheted Simplicity!

Jennifer is an amazing, award winning designer, and I’m so happy I get to feature her here today! Here’s a bit more about her in her own words:

Hi, I’m Jennifer and I’m the designer behind A Crocheted Simplicity, a line of fun, functional and modern crochet designs. I live in the middle of the woods, along a river in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my husband and our 3 kids. We also have a grown daughter, son-in-law and 3 adorable grand babies.

I do not have a warm, fuzzy story to share with you about how my grandmother taught me to crochet at the young age of 5. As a matter of fact, just 5 short years ago I had absolutely no idea what the difference was between a crochet hook or knitting needles.

Shortly after relocating to the U.P. I found myself needing something to keep my mind off of missing the family we moved so far away from. That’s when I decided to teach myself to crochet… I bought a teach yourself to crochet kit and a ball of cotton yarn and haven’t looked back since!

I enjoy several different creative hobbies, such as sewing and stained glass, but crochet is where my heart is. I love continuously exploring new techniques and putting my own spin on the classics, but most of all, I love sharing my passion for crochet and teaching others.
