My name is Eleonora. I am half Dutch, half English and live on the south east coast of England with my husband, three fast growing children and a Miniature Schnauzer called Salty.

I am passionate about crochet! I am a crochet designer and draw so much inspiration from the sea and coastal surroundings where we live…

I have crocheted for many years having initially learnt in my childhood and more recently undertaking the International Diploma in Crochet. As a result my crochet designs are very varied and I have enjoyed using a variety of crochet techniques including Tunisian crochet, Broomstick crochet and Filet crochet.

I love sharing my passion for crochet and my love of the craft with others and enjoy teaching in crochet classes, writing my ‘Coastal Crochet’ blog and sharing photos on Instagram as @coastalcrochet

I have had many designs published in crochet magazines including ‘Simply Crochet’, ‘Inside Crochet’ and ‘Crochet Now’.
