Who I am

Hello and welcome to Lelaarapishop!

I’m Marinela, and I’m so happy to have you here in this special corner, where every stitch tells a story. My love for crochet and knitting began many years ago, thanks to my mom and grandmother, who passed down the passion for these crafts. As a little girl, I spent hours sitting beside them, watching their skilled hands work with yarn, creating little wonders. I still remember the feeling of awe when they handed me my very first crochet hook. From that moment on, I’ve never stopped creating.

Over time, I turned this passion into something more: Lelaarapishop. I combined the tradition passed down to me from my family with my own experience in design to create patterns for anyone who loves knitting or crochet, no matter their skill level. Each pattern you’ll find here has been carefully crafted, with attention to detail, to make every project a true creative experience.

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, here you’ll find easy-to-follow patterns and, above all, a warm and supportive atmosphere. My goal is to make the creative process not only fun but also relaxing—just like it was for me when I worked alongside my mom and grandmother. 

 

Each pattern you’ll find on Lelaarapishop has been carefully tested by a team of testers with different skill levels, ensuring that each instruction is clear and easy to follow, no matter your experience.

 

Thank you for being here, and welcome to my little community of knitting and crochet lovers. I hope you feel right at home.
