Christina Green has dabbled in a variety of hobbies but crocheting is her favourite. The St. Louis, P.E.I. resident owns A Simple Chain Design. ContributedSaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for August 22, 2023 | SaltWireST. LOUIS, P.E.I. — Every project starts with a simple chain. From that simple chain the most beautiful creations emerge.

For as long as she can remember, Green has been making things. She typically would float from craft to craft, but nothing ever stuck. She has always enjoyed making flowers, candles, rock art, wreaths, driftwood crafts, bags, baskets and so much more. She spent a lot of time looking at things thinking about how she could make something with that.But, throughout this, Green would bounce around from hobby to hobby and get bored and move on to something else.

“Now I can crochet just about anything. I love diving into a new pattern, especially if it requires learning a new stitch or pattern,” she says. A Simple Chain Design was once asked to make crocheted shawls for a woman and her sister so they could recreate their childhood memories. Contributed Green only had three weeks to get them done. It was a tight deadline and Green told her she would try her best but couldn’t make any promises. In the end, she made deadline and the customer was delighted.Out of everything she creates, Green says her most popular items are her fbombs. These are baseball sized stuffed balls with a fuse and a big f on them.

Sometimes Green does custom work but it always seems to be a challenge. The items people want usually don’t have an easily found pattern or they’re knit and not crochet, says Green. Although she can knit, she chooses not to, as she doesn’t enjoy it as much.
