Hello, I have two names, Chineze (Chee Neh Zeh) and Olive (Uh Liv). You can call me by either, but I have a strong preference for my Igbo name.
I learnt crochet as a kid in primary school, and knitting in junior secondary school. I abandoned the crafts for years, but rediscovered both during the COVID-19 lockdown.My Yarnpunzel design mantra is “Crochet Reimagined With a Knit-like Allure.” My patterns cancel the old belief that crochet wearables do not look good.
Most of my designs feature my signature short-row technique which I use to create stylish and timeless crochet pieces. My preferred yarn weight is fingering, so my designs are usually fine fabrics with striking drape.
I am a pharmacist, a techie and, all-round science and history nerd. I am afraid of dogs and cats, but dream of having a dog pet. I am a book-lover and a self-proclaimed DIY
