Sarah Zimmerman is a yarn lover, crafter, blogger, wife, and busy mom of three. Sarah is a self-taught crocheter who picked up her first hook shortly after her second child was born. Wanting to make fun hats for her kids, she watched online videos and followed book tutorials, learning to crochet quickly and unleashing a hidden talent she never knew she had! She decided to take her hobby and passion for crochet to the next level and started writing her own patterns. A graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in visual arts and a graphic designer by trade, Sarah has an eye for design and color that is reflected in her crochet projects. Her style can be described as fresh, cute, and contemporary with a creative flair that appeal to all ages. You will find many of her patterns are easy to adapt and many incorporate additional craft materials like fleece, buttons, and felt. Sarah's craft and crochet blog, Repeat Crafter Me, is full of new and unique patterns that are trendy and seasonal, as well as many animal and character hats for babies and kids. Sarah is a stay-at-home mom to two young boys and a toddler girl. She loves crafting with her kids, taking on DIY projects, experimenting in the kitchen, and is never far from her crochet hooks and a ball of yarn. Sarah shares her crochet patterns for free on her blog Repeat Crafter Me (www.RepeatCrafterMe.com). She offers simple patterns and is known for having easy to follow tutorials and detailed step-by-step photos. Her blog is also a great resource for kids crafts, DIY projects, Crock Pot recipes, and tons of inspiration.
