About Me

My name is Suset Suárez. I was born in Cuba, but in 2018 I came with my family to live in Spain. Now I live in a small town surrounded by mountains in the north of Madrid, Spain.

I have a university degree in English Language, Translation, and Interpreting, and I am currently working as an English teacher.

I have always loved everything handmade, and I remember spending hours next to my grandmother and her sewing machine.

When I was 9 years old, I learned to use that very old Singer sewing machine. But since I saw a crochet hook for the first time, I was very interested in learning.

The truth is that I didn’t learn until I was in the university. My grandmother couldn’t teach me because she was left-handed, and I’m right-handed, there was no YouTube either at that time.

It was while I was in the university when a neighbor who was taking crochet lessons started to teach me what she was learning. It was not easy, but I succeeded.

Since then, I have learned a lot but in a self-taught way, watching videos and reading blogs.

I am very curious and creative. My life is very quiet, and there are not many things that give me as much pleasure as crochet.

I have a beautiful family and a daughter who inspires me every day and who is more creative than I am. And my husband is my partner in everything, my supporter.

The year 2020 has awakened in me the desire to fight for what I want, and that is to live doing what I love the most: designing crochet garments and translating patterns, and helping many people to make the patterns they like even if they are in English or Spanish, and they don’t know the language.
