“Before moving to Ireland I spent six years traveling and living in various European and Latin American countries. It was during my time in Argentina that I adopted Bobby, a wandering cat who crossed my path overseas, and today we live here together.,” Nadia told Yay Cork.
“A year ago I started to approach the art of crochet and in a short time, it turned into a real passion, so much so that I can hope to be able to make a living out of it one day. Crochet is a very therapeutic practice that allows you to empty your mind and express your imagination and creativity.
“My characters are like a part of me and I am inspired by what I see around me, by the stories I read in books, or more simply by what I like. I love autumn, warm, neutral colours and shades.”
