African women
have a lot of skills to teach to future generations. Growing up in an African
homestead one would easily admire the craftsmanship around the house that women
easily created whiling away the hours before resuming their usual tasks. One
such interesting craft is the art of crocheting. This is one amazing skill that
can be taught through generations and as soon as you get the hang of it, you do
not want to stop. Africancrab was borne of this. When Harriet was given her
first crochet hook by her aunt, she took it upon herself to learn as much as
she could on this amazing craft.
Africancrab
From the
pearl of Africa; Uganda, Harriet aka Africancrab had a talent for crochet from
an early age of 6. Thanks to the internet, she was able to perfect that art and
taught herself how to create pieces by watching videos on YouTube. She would
later go on to sell these handcrafted pieces. She has been creating handmade
accessories for more than 35 years and enjoys the thrill of freestyle designing
and knitting. Harriet runs and manages her shop, Africancrab from home.
