About Me

Hi, I’m Girlie D. de los Reyes!

I’m a working mom from the Philippines with a deep love for crochet. I crochet everywhere—at bus stops, while waiting for the bus, in hospital lobbies, and even in the car while traveling. Sometimes, I get so absorbed in my crochet projects that I lose track of time!


How I Learned Crochet

My crochet journey started in 5th grade when I was introduced to the basic stitches. It felt so natural, almost like something I had always known. Spending time with my grandmother, who loved to crochet, also played a big role in shaping my passion. I would sit beside her for hours, mesmerized by the way her fingers moved, creating beautiful pieces from simple threads.

In high school, my passion was ignited even more when a teacher encouraged me to join a crochet competition—I won the gold! That moment fueled my desire to learn more. I started collecting books, exploring new designs, and refining my craft.


Sharing My Crochet Passion

For years, I crocheted for pure joy, gifting my creations to family and friends. My late husband saw my love for the craft and suggested I start a blog to share my knowledge. That idea led me to explore website building, and soon, I created my own space to teach and inspire others.

My Inspirations

  • My Grandmother: Her beautiful crochet works and vintage pattern books sparked my love for the craft.
  • My Family: My mother, a pattern maker, and my sisters have always challenged me with creative ideas.
  • My Late Husband: He supported my passion, encouraged my blogging journey, and listened to my endless crochet ideas.
  • My Daughter, Rheema: My biggest supporter and model, she proudly wears my crochet dresses—even the unfinished ones! Today, she’s a talented violinist, and I continue to dream of spending more time with her while pursuing my passion.

My Dreams

Like many working moms, I dream of financial freedom—to be able to stay home and fully support my daughter’s dreams. While many have suggested selling my crochet pieces, I’ve realized my true passion lies in teaching others how to crochet and helping them turn it into a source of income.


Building a Crochet Community and Online Business

Today, I’m the founder of Crochet Lovers in the Philippines, a growing community where crocheters come together to learn, share, and celebrate this beautiful craft. Through this group, I hope to inspire more people to embrace crochet, whether as a hobby or a livelihood.
