Hello, everyone!
Have a wonderful Friday evening. I’m really happy to have found this craft forum.
I’d like to introduce myself briefly so you know who you’re dealing with. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a section for this.
My name is Brita, and I’m based here in Hamburg. I’m 71 years old—so a little on the older side—and I live alone.
So, now for my hobbies: Naturally, crafts (crochet, embroidery, and macramé bracelets). I can knit, too, but I don’t really enjoy it that much. I also work with graphic design software and computers in general.
If you have any questions, just ask. I’d be happy to answer them.
Warm regards from Hamburg
Brita
Hello Brita,
I’d like to warmly welcome you here at crazypatterns and hope you find lots of great inspiration here. For me, crafts are incredibly enriching in all their forms. Good for the mind and the heart.
I create crochet patterns because that’s what I do best. Tinkering with new patterns is incredibly exciting. And creating the text and crochet chart is varied, and I enjoy all of it 💞
Recently, I’ve also started blogging here on crazypatterns!
I think it’s great that you have such diverse interests, and if I ever have a question, I’d be happy to come back to you.
If you need help, I’m happy to be there for you, too.
Thank you both for the lovely welcome.
My son is already grown up, so crocheting things for a play kitchen or pretend shop is not an option.
Warm regards
Brita
Dear Brita,
I wish you lots of fun and joy with your crafts here on CrazyPatterns and especially in the forum. Here everyone can find advice and help, as well as “admirers” for their own creations. The exchange is truly very pleasant, nice and friendly.
I look forward to your enriching contributions!
Best wishes

a warm welcome from me, too. I’m glad you found this forum. I was really impressed by how many hobbies you have—even graphic design. I think that’s really great.
I hope you have a lot of fun here, and maybe you’ll show us some of your lovely creations soon.
A warm welcome to our crafts group, dear Brita! I’m so glad you found your way here.
We’re in a similar age group—I’ll be turning 70 in March, and I enjoy crocheting and knitting. I’ve also dabbled in sewing, but that was back when my son was little. He’s 47 now. Thanks to my two granddaughters, I’ve taken up crafts again after a long break, and I can’t even imagine stopping now. That’s also how I came to write my own patterns, which I do with great joy.
There’s also a crafts group here—maybe you’d like to join in and show off your creations sometime. It’s really fun.
Unfortunately, I have less time right now due to personal matters following a death in the family. But I’ll definitely be back in action there soon.
Good morning, everyone!
I’m absolutely blown away that sooooo many people are welcoming me. I’ll see today if I can post a few of my creations on the forum. I’ve given most of them away and didn’t think to take a keepsake photo. But a few things have stayed on my computer.
I’ve hardly done anything over the last three years. I just didn’t have the motivation. Up until then, I still had my mother. But now I’m slowly working my way out of my grief, and my perspective is becoming clearer again.
I hope you all have a lovely day that isn’t too hot.
Dear Brita,
welcome to the forum. You’ve found a great place here.
This is where we share ideas, ask questions, offer help, and much more—without any snide remarks or judgment.
Warm regards
Petra
