A BIT ABOUT REBECCA & YARN & CHAI

Name: Rebecca

Business: Yarn & Chai (formerly Little Monkeys Crochet)

WHY SHE STARTED HER BUSINESS

I was designing a web site for a client who sold her crocheted goods online. I had been looking for a hobby, and decided to teach myself crochet so I could make cute things like she did, and I also loved the idea of being able to handmade Christmas gifts that year. (Those first Christmas gifts are pretty hilarious, but they were made with love.) I figured out pretty early on that I preferred making up my own patterns over following others’, and at the urging of my husband, I launched a blog.

HER TWO FAVORITE CROCHET PROJECTS

Oh gosh… this is really hard. If I have to pick two…

1. Henry’s Baby Blanket (https://yarnandchai.com/henrys-baby-blanket/)

2. Malia Shoulder Bag (https://yarnandchai.com/malia-shoulder-bag/)

TELL US 3 FUN OR INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT YOU

1. I worked as a barista and was trained by a guy who went on to compete in national barista competitions; he took coffee VERY SERIOUSLY. I know all about how to pull the perfect shot and how to make latte art, but I still prefer the taste of a Starbucks latte over pretty much anything. (Don’t tell him I said that.)

2. I am the mother of 3 boys (7, 6, and 1). I grew up in a family of girls, and when I found out I was pregnant with my first boy, I went in the hospital bathroom and cried because I had NO idea what to do with a boy. Now, 3 beautiful boys later, I’m not sure I’d know what to do with a girl.

3. I make my boys crocheted hats for Christmas every year. Over the years they’ve had sock monkeys, penguins, ninja turtles, and – my favorite – Kion from The Lion Guard.
