Designer Spotlight: Sandra Paul
Sandra Paul is the craft blogger, podcaster and pattern designer behind Cherry Heart who loves to crochet, knit and sew. She lives in a small village in Bedfordshire with her husband, daughter, a couple of pets and an ever expanding stash of yarn and fabric.
Re-discovering knitting as an adult by dusting off some rusty childhood skills one Christmas Day, it was only a matter of weeks before she knew that she needed to learn crochet too. One ‘how to’ book and a stressful evening of fumbled fingers later, a slightly crooked granny square and a brand new obsession had been born.
These days Sandra’s blog has expanded from simply being a place to share her crafty adventures into a home for all kinds of handy tutorials and beautiful patterns. You’ll also find an area called ‘Crochet Corner’ entirely dedicated to all things hooky. It’s a great place to remind yourself of the basics with her stitch directory and you’ll find plenty more tips, tricks and advice there too.
