My story

Hi, I’m Victoria

I’m the fairy behind La Fée Crochette. But my story with crochet starts long before me: with my grandmother, and a simple piece of wood.

Stitch by stitch

    A hook carved from wood

    My grandmother has been crocheting since she was a little girl. Her parents couldn’t afford to buy her a hook, so she took a piece of wood and tried to carve one herself. Seeing her keep at it, they ended up giving her a real one. She’s never stopped since.

    Chains, and more chains

    As a little girl, I was always at her place. She taught me chains, granny squares… The squares were tricky, I couldn’t quite get them right. So I made chains.

    Getting into it for real

    Then one day, I really got into it. I showed her every new creation: she was proud, and I was happy to make her proud.

    Our afternoons of crochet

    When she moved into a care home, I started spending my afternoons there: four or five hours crocheting together, side by side. That’s where my passion was truly born.

    Today, La Fée Crochette

    And here we are. I’ve been crocheting non-stop for four years now, and what I love most is making things for others: when someone trusts me with an idea I love, I can crochet for eight hours straight so they can have it the very next day. Since everyone has their own ideas, custom orders let me try a bit of everything. La Fée Crochette was born: here we go!

A family of makers

At home, everyone creates a little something. La Fée Crochette is a bit of all of us.

    My grandmother

    Crochet, her whole life, ever since that wooden hook. It all starts with her.

    My mum

    Always good with her hands, she encouraged us to create. She’s the one who came up with the name La Fée Crochette.

    My sister

    A true artist who draws beautifully: she created the fairy logo. She also edits the videos and handles all of La Fée Crochette’s art direction.

Soussou to her friends

My loyal Dalmatian follows me everywhere. She doubles as a yarn holder, approves (or not) every piece and, above all, tests how sturdy they are. She hasn’t destroyed a single one yet: so they’re sturdy.
