Meet Joanita Theron

Question: Who are you? Tell me about yourself.

My name is Joanita Theron and I am a crochet designer. I have been designing for almost 15 years but have been online with my own website for ten years. I love what I do. I truly believe crochet is an art and crocheters it’s artists. Each crafted item is unique and own to its crafter.

Question: How did you learn how to crochet? How long have you been crocheting?

I learned to crochet from my grandmother when I was very young. But started professionally fifteen years ago and am self taught.

Question: Do you have any tips for new crocheters? Any guidance to make them successful at a new hobby?

The only tip I can give a new crocheter is to have FUN and never give up. Mistakes are part of the process, if I had to point each mistake in my crochet makes I would be a millionaire. Crochet is a fun hobby and there is always something new to learn.

Question: What do you enjoy crocheting the most?

I seem to have an affinity for squares, so I would say probably blankets and cushions. But I do love to make shawls too.

Question: What else are you passionate about (other than crochet)?

Writing! I love to write. I do occasionally painting and drawing too.

Question: What prompted you to start designing?

Oh, I could possibly give many reasons for this. But I think the most valued one would be I could not find exactly what I wanted to crochet and decided to try designing it myself. It did help that I was at home and pregnant with my daughter at the time!

Question: How long have you been designing and where do you publish your patterns?

Designing professionally for ten years. My patterns (free) can be found on my website and I sell on Etsy and Ravelry too.

Question: What drives you to create? Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

In the past it had been my daughter and it was a new found hobby. But in the last few years I have slowed down a bit and have been driven to rather create things I need or I am really motivated to do. Inspiration comes from everywhere! I love to play with color and I am obsessed to creating designs allows your imagination to run wild.

Question: What do you enjoy designing the most?

Designs where you can use oddments of yarn – like my Scraps of Yarn designs! Blankets, pillows and bags that are made up with a variety of squares and stitches.

Question: What tips would you give to someone interested in designing and blogging?

Stay true to yourself. Find your niche and what you are passionate about. Following other designers and bloggers are great as a resource, but finding your own identity will allow you to create and thrive without losing your own identity.

Question: What goals have you set for yourself for the future?

To relax more and truly spend time just creating. And maybe finally crochet something for myself!

Question: Who are your favorite makers? How have they inspired you?

Oh my gosh! There are so many! I have made so many friends over the years and they all inspire me and leave me in awe.

Question: Do you have a favorite yarn you like to use when you are crocheting? What colors and fibers do you gravitate toward when choosing your yarn?

I do have a favorite yarn! Vinnis Colours is a local company in South Africa that hand dyes natural yarn. I love using their Nikkim and Serina. https://www.vinniscolours.co.za

I prefer using natural yarns like cotton and bamboo. I am an autumn coloring person and I seem to somehow always gravitate to blues, reds, greens and browns. Any rainbow or pastels in my designs are my daughter’s influence.

Question: Do you have anything else you’d like to share with us?
