Yes, I’m late on my resolution.
This year I decided to accomplish a 2023 resolution I had. To write a crochet pattern for a top I made the year before. And I did. By the second week of the year the pattern was done. And now somehow I also have a blog.
A quick note. My life changed quite a lot in the last two years. From a full-time ballet dancer/part-time server to very likely going from Mexico to Argentina with my boyfriend on a motorbike. It was a good time to change another thing. Do things even though I don’t feel ready for it. They say you just need to be 70% ready anyway.
So why this turned into a blog again you ask?
I can’t half-ass stuff I do. I try, but I can’t help myself. Is this a promise of great work? That’s a very personal decision. So, no. I won’t promise that.
But that’s the short version of that question. The long simplified one? I wrote the pattern, I’m getting it tested right now. Then I would have to start promoting it in some way. Pinterest sounded good. Therefore here we are, somehow creating content. Being something I never thought I would be, a blogger. (I REFUSE to be an “influencer“, maybe one day we get to that)
I was never a big user on Instagram, I created one a bit ago for my brand, the very own you see in this blog. But never really did much with it. And to be honest, even now I’m disassociating a little bit to write this blog. It’s not natural to me to say “This is my brand!”, it sounds weird. And somehow creating this character is helpful to get it moving. This blog format also helps. You probably won’t see me sharing this page on my personal account.
But I’m rambling. Back to the point!
I created this blog to share my creations with people. With people that are willing to read a couple paragraphs and not just watch a 15s reel. I want to talk about slow fashion anyway, it makes more sense in my mind. And since the plan is to be on the road for the next year or so, this is a job I can still do.
So in the future, you will see more handmade projects, random thoughts on fashion, crochet patterns and my weird humor.
I hope you enjoy and stick around!
Ooh, and I’m Angela. Hi.
