The Beginning

Hello All!

Welcome to BluKnots Originals!!


This is my first blog on my wonderful site!

*So, a little about me.

*My name is Tishana. I am a 32yo vegan mom of two teens. I crochet for the love of the craft. I have been crocheting since I was little. My grandmother taught my sister and I how to crochet just to keep us quiet, I guess, lol. I made my first finished blanket back in 94 for my daughter, then I put the crochet down for seven years. Necessity made me pick that hook up again in 2001. I crocheted several hats for my children and myself, and BluKnots Originals began! I only made hats for people I knew, then they referred people to me. I love making all sorts of projects, including custom made items. My family always receives a hat from me for the winter! I have sold a lot of my finished products, even when it hurts to. Those who love crochet can understand what I mean...

*I use acrylic, cotton, rayon, novelty yarn, fabrics, and any yarns or textiles that do not contain animal fibers. One time I had a LOT of wool yarn on me from a bulk lot purchase on Ebay. So, I made a felted messenger bag and gifted it. I didn't want to be wasteful and throw it away. I have been asked to replicate my felted messenger bag, but I refuse to do it anymore. As a vegan, I need to be mindful of the harm I could bring to any being, even if it is indirect. I WILL do it in any vegan material.

*I am currently phasing out the acrylic/rayon/synthetic yarns because they are mostly petroleum products. I am also an environmentalist! I am always looking for new yarns, so if you know of some, let me know!

*So with all that said, welcome again to BluKnots Originals!

*Stay tuned for my posts!
