MY FAMILY

“When I think about my family, the first word that comes to mind is home. Not just the place where we live, but the people who make it feel alive and full. My family is my circle of strength, laughter, and sometimes even a little chaos—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

We’re a mix of personalities, talents, and quirks, each of us adding our own flavor to the story we’re writing together. What I love most is how we show up for one another. Whether it’s in the small daily things, or in the big life-changing moments, there’s always this sense that we don’t have to go through anything alone.

For me, family is where I draw a lot of my inspiration—it’s where my creativity is nurtured, where my faith is strengthened, and where I’m reminded that love really is the thread that ties everything together.”

Why I Love to Crochet – A Heart-toHeart with Laudiaann Sylvest

Hello, my friends! It’s Laudiaann here, and today I just want to share a little piece of my heart with you. Many of you know me as the voice and hands behind Knotty Yarn Creation, but behind every stitch and every pattern lies a story—and that story begins with why I fell in love with crochet.

Crochet Is My Escape

When I pick up my hook and yarn, the world seems to slow down. Crochet is my quiet space, my sanctuary. No matter what the day brings, I know I can sit down, loop by loop, and create something beautiful. It’s like painting with yarn—each stitch a brushstroke, each pattern a masterpiece in progress.

Crochet Is Connection

What I love most is how crochet connects me with others. Every time I share a new pattern, a tutorial, or even just a photo of something I’ve made, I feel like I’m weaving threads that reach across the world. I imagine someone, somewhere, using their own hands to follow along, and suddenly, we’re connected through creativity.

Crochet also ties me to my roots—family, tradition, and the generations of women (and men!) who kept this art alive. When I crochet, I’m part of a larger story.

Crochet Is Purpose

Beyond the stitches, crochet gives me purpose. It’s not just about making hats, blankets, or scarves—it’s about creating something meaningful. Sometimes that’s a gift that warms someone’s heart, other times it’s teaching a student who finally “gets it” and lights up with joy.

Through Knotty Yarn Creation, I get to share my patterns, teach lessons, and encourage others to discover the same joy that crochet has given me. And honestly? That’s the part I love the most.

Crochet Is Royalty

You’ve probably noticed I love adding a touch of royalty to my crochet themes. That’s because crochet makes me feel like a queen in my own creative kingdom. Each design, each crown, each royal-inspired piece is my way of reminding you—and myself—that creativity is powerful, elegant, and worthy of celebration.

So when people ask me, “Laudiaann, why do you love crochet so much?” my answer is simple: because it’s more than a craft—it’s a way of life.

Thank you for being part of my journey and for letting me share my passion with you. Now, let’s keep those hooks moving, because there’s always another story waiting to be stitched. 💜✨

With love,
Laudiaann Sylvest
