Welcome to Underground Crafter!
My name is Marie Segares, and I’m the Proprietress of Underground Crafter. I’m a crochet and knitting blogger, designer, podcaster, and teacher. I learned to crochet from my maternal grandmother in 1984, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I conquered my fear of knitting in 2010, and now I’m happily bi-craftual. You can read more about me here and stay in touch by signing up for my newsletter here.

A little backstory before I start talking about how amazing this product is. I was at work and it was freezing and your partner could definitely see it in my face, he asked me if i was cold and i said I was freezing. I helped him with the rest of his stuff said goodnight and 5 minutes later he comes with one of these beautiful handmade knitted scarfs. He couldn’t have made my night any better, I was so in awe and amazed that someone went out their way but it was so very much appreciated. The scarf is beautiful, I truly was so warm after putting it to use and I will definitely be supporting. I appreciated it so much and I loved it just as much. Once again the scarf is definitely worth it, it’s beautiful and it keeps me real warm and cozy.
