I never imagined myself crocheting, I never imagined wanting to learn crochet and much less saw myself one day being passionate about crochet.

But I'm going to tell you here how this hobby changed my life and helped me overcome anxiety and depression.

The application LoveCrafts Crochet has a great responsibility for helping me with this change, he is simply wonderful and famous in the world of crocheters.

But I'm going to tell you everything, from when my story with crochet began until now as an entrepreneur in the business of transforming threads and needles into works of art.

Learning about the world of crochet

In my childhood I had contact with crochet, I saw my grandmother knitting, crocheting, so this world was not very unknown, but it was never something that caught my attention.

Until I started experiencing severe anxiety attacks, resulting from burnout, diagnosed by doctors and even medicated.

However, my crises made me very agitated and nothing calmed me down.

It was then that I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw an ad for an app to learn crochet, and I decided to try it out.

I downloaded the app and started challenging myself.

Believe me, that calmed me down in a surprising way. I started making smaller, easier pieces.

How I used Crochet to undertake

First, I started posting photos of the crochet things I was making and I started receiving several messages from friends and people praising my work.

And the days went by and I continued producing and posting the pieces, and the orders started to arrive.

But there was a person who sent me a direct message on Facebook asking about a piece I had posted and already ordering 10 of the same piece.

That's when it hit me and I realized the opportunity I had to open my own business.

On that same day I created my CNPJ and started selling my pieces.

I would make the piece and post it, and moments later I would sell it.

Therefore, I will give you below the applications that helped me on this journey.
