Pia Thadani owns and authors a blog at StitchesNScraps.com. Her blog is about knitting, crochet, and scrapbooking, but lately, her main focus has been crochet.
Pia has been crocheting as long as she can remember, and right from the beginning, she has never liked to follow a pattern exactly as written. She always had to put her own spin on it. Pia likes to work on all different types of patterns and to experiment with new stitches, textures, and techniques. In 2013, she discovered her passion for designing and writing her own crochet patterns, and has been doing so ever since!
