Meet Tia, the maker behind the journal
Tia Edwards creates the patterns at Simple Things Crochet from her home in North Carolina. She first learned to crochet from her aunt, returned to it years later, and began adapting patterns before designing her own.
Her inspiration comes from everyday needs, the colors around her, and a lovely skein of yarn. Here you’ll find that same love of simple, useful things in patterns for your wardrobe and your home.
