Hey, I'm Marina, the creative behind Bloodimaryart!

At some point in my life, I got itchy feet and decided to explore the world: I have been working and traveling in different countries for the past 7 years, mostly in Spain, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
Crochet has become my medium for creative self-expression, how I manifest my ideas, imagination, beliefs, and values.

In late 2019, I started designing one-of-a-kind crochet patterns and selling my crochet pieces. Since then, I've become a crochet teacher, started a YouTube channel, and collaborated with yarn brands and crochet magazines.

I'm grateful for this wonderful crochet community and always in awe of the creativity and talent of other makers!
