I say it every time, but boy, am I excited about this one!
Meet Jeanette Haugland of @Vesleull!
Jeanette is known for creating lovely, super wearable garments with wonderful textures and for playing with color in such a great way. We have long admired her talent, and we are thrilled that she has made time in her schedule to talk to us and teach a live class!
Read on to get to know her better, explore her signature style, and learn about our exclusive June events.
"Hi, I’m Jeanette Haugland! I feel like I just suddenly turned 47 and my 14 and 16-year-old children are taller than me. Where have the years gone!
I've been crocheting for as long as I can remember and started designing my own patterns when our oldest daughter was born in 2007. I felt there weren't enough patterns with a good fit for babies and toddlers, so I took matters into my own hands. Over time, the garments grew with the children, and now I crochet for both kids and adults.
I aim to develop designs with a modern expression, but I find the traditional 'old-fashioned' style just as exciting and romantic. The joy of creating something entirely unique with just a hook provides a wonderful dose of endorphins—it has truly helped me in dealing with muscle and joint pain."
— Jeanette Haugland
Alongside her creative work, Jeanette is a trained radiographer and has worked in the industry for 13 years. She isn’t a full-time crocheter... yet!
