Hi, Jodie here.

I started Crochet Penguin to show 1,000,000 people the joys of crochet & highlight alternatives to fast fashion.

The inspirational crochet designs and techniques I see are amazing. So many things to try and discover! There’s more to me than loving crochet.

Here’s my story. I’m originally from Melbourne, Australia.

I attended the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where I met my husband. Later I graduated from La Trobe University with a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education.

I taught Food Technology (Home Economics) in a high school.

Thanks to my passion for growing organic vegetables and cooking, I joined the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

Teaching primary school kids to grow vegetables and preparing delicious meals was great fun.

In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting, knitting, quilting, and sewing my own clothes. I love chatting with my readers. Please get in touch here.

Join me, and let’s get crocheting!
