Nowadays, Raffaella Tassoni is known in the crochet world for her eclectic and informative blog, Raffamusa Designs, which she regularly updates with new designs and how-tos. But about seven years ago, Rafaella was deeply immersed in her chemistry studies as she worked towards her PhD. She was so stressed that she was hardly sleeping, so she decided to try crafting to sooth her mind. She initially thought she’d get into cross stitch, a passion of hers from childhood, but when she popped to the local craft store to stock up on supplies, she quickly found herself drawn to crochet instead.
“The hooks andthe hooks, often crocheting at night as I was so busy in the day with my studies.” Though this didn’t help with her lack of sleep – she stayed up many a night with a hook and yarn in hand – she did learn how to crochet, and a passion for the craft was born.
