About

My name is Arina Purcella and I am glad to introduce brite loops to you. First, I would like to tell you a little about myself.

I was born in Russia and raised in Ukraine. One summer, when I was nine years old, my mom suggested that it would be nice for me to learn something new, rather than find adventures on the streets of the city. I agreed to begin learning crocheting. When I came to my first crocheting class, I was the only person of such young age. I was shy in class, but I quickly grasped the understanding of crocheting techniques.

By the end of the summer, I made several crocheted gifts for each member of my family. But most importantly, I discovered one of the deepest passions in my life – crocheting. Now, as I am living in the United States, I share my knowledge with people around me. I teach a crocheting class in my community to help people learn this fading skill.
