About Me

Lorelie Dazo - crocheter
Lorelie Dazo – crocheter

I started crocheting when I was in grade II. My sisters all had their projects about crochet for their Home Economics class and I just can’t wait to try.

My mother was my first teacher. She taught me how to make a single chain.

It was fun and it was (I then thought) easy so I asked her to teach me more. And so I learned other basic stitches but I cannot make something pretty and usable… Almost all my first works were circular since I cannot make uniform stitches.

Our neighbor taught me how to make the granny square. It was then I thought that I could make my own patterns and motifs then attach them with another…

I also design accessories

I used to design  and sell accessories too.

My transition from beading to crocheting happened when I came across monaco crochet threads sold at our Cooperative store :) during my first (and last) semester at graduate school.

This hobby is quite handy. I do not need to bring much with me. Just a ball of yarn and a hook and I can do it anywhere.  That’s why i got hooked 😀

    Hi! Sobrang nag enjoy ako sa website nyo. I just learned how to crochet this year and I’ve been having fun. I am now based in Florida and I am happy that more Filipinos are becoming aware of crafts and women have the potential to earn extra income for their families. Crochet items are huge here in the States because of the winter season. Maybe someday you will have potential clients interested to buy from Philippines. Hay, sana mura lang ang shipping para jan na lang ako bibili ng mga yarns. :)) Anyway, this year, my project is to make as many hats as I could and distribute them in St. Jude Hospital for the kids who have cancer. Keep it up and when I go in Manila, I’ll definitely visit you. Thanks and God bless!

    I never thought that there are still young pinays doing the same hobby that I do! At least now I know marami pa rin tayo. I’ve been wondering where I can sell my finished products and how to price them, can you help me with this? I’m a working mom who needs extr income for my 2 teenage daughters schooling….. Help!

      😀 Unfortunately the club was never founded.. gotten into a lot of stuffs and thus this site has become a personal blog. Despite this a friend of mine is still trying to put the site for me :) hooray to that. hopefully i could get the enthusiasm to rebuild this site again 😀

    Hi Lorelie, I also do crochet but all I know is the basic chain ha ha ha, I do love crochet it is only now that I do appreciate it so much. I want to learn more on crochet. like you, I would also like to go into retailing my handcrafted design and would like to start now to make simple items to give aways for my friends in any occasions. Where in Laguna do you stay? Maybe I could visit you one of these days if my schedule would allow me. Have a good day.
