Learn to Crochet with WIMZ. Crochet and crafts at the tip of your fingers!
HELLO, I’M BANESSA!
Welcome to While In my Zone! WIMZ is a platform where I get to share my love of crafts from crocheting and sewing to cooking, all while in my zone. I never miss the opportunity to learn something new. Chances are that if you locked me in a craft room all day with a nice espresso machine, I wouldn’t be the least bit sad. In fact, you’d make my day.
ABOUT ME:
I was born and raised in the borough of the Bronx in New York City and I am the 4th of 5 children (three older brothers and one younger sister). I’m a mom of two young adults Abraham & Tabitha and one furry 4 legged Lab/hound dog mix named Riley (he’s a male by the way). I’m married to my wonderful husband Lemuel who has supported my love for crafts since having met me and loves me unconditionally with my crazy self!
I learned to crochet at the age of 9 when my mom had a neighbor friend visit the home with yarn and a hook needle. Mesmerized by the way she created something out of just a string and hook, she noticed my enthusiasm and offered to show me. All it took was a few minutes and the rest is history. I created this blog to walk you through the art of crocheting and also to provide a space for craft enthusiast like me. It is also a place to learn to crochet from the very basic to the more advanced. Together we can build a community where we can all learn from each other and share our love of crafts.
A FEW FUN FACTS
I enjoy living in the city. I love the convenience of traveling on public trans, shopping and walking in downtown Manhattan. But on the weekends during the summer months, I love spending my time in our home away from home in Pennsylvania. I love the trees, quiet and tranquility away from the city and sitting by the camp fire at night making s’mores alongside my family. Oh…., and one last thing, I do NOT like the cold (it’s no secret).
