The Crocheted Cocoon

All of my patterns are available on my etsy shop -> TheCrochetedCocoon

I remember that I was so worried to start this shop, because you know, people could not understand this combination of filet crochet lacey doilies and bugs, or could just ignore it. It turned out that a lot of you started to do filet crochet because of my beetles, and it's a thing that keeps me going so much!!

A lot of my doilies are based on my entomological observations. It really means a lot to me that you also appreciate them!

I've got a lot of new ideas, about how to keep it all positive not for us but also for beetles - our muses here. People try to get rid of them often, while a lot of them are useful for our environment. I hope every one of you not only crochet cute doilies of insects but also respect them :) its really important for the Earth.
