My name is Pirjo and I am a self-taught maker and university language teacher living in a small coastal town in Southern Finland. I've been making since childhood, and especially after starting my first blog Pirjon kädenjälkiä (later Hilja Design) back in 2009. After a few years of dabbling between different creative interests, I found crochet to be the best creative outlet for me. And then, during one especially dull and grey Sunday afternoon in January 2014, I came up with the idea to crochet diamonds with clear lines. The pattern was simply hidden in the stitches, rows of half double crochet. After that discovery, there have been diamonds everywhere in all possible color combinations. And still, crocheting something simple with that pattern is my favorite form of meditation.
