Crumpet's Profile

Hi everyone, I'm Crumpet and I created this website in 2009 (when I was 22) as a place for me to post kandi patterns I made. It has since grown into an interactive website where kandi makers around the world share patterns and photos of their creations. I had to stop making kandi in 2012 because I got chronic tendonitis from it, but I still try to keep the site alive. I never wanted or expected the site to grow into what it has, but I will always try my best to support people on here as best as I can with the knowledge and resources I have available.

I’m a dual British/American citizen who was born in England but lived in California from age 9-24, then moved back to England (didn’t lose my English accent somehow). I work as a frontend/backend developer for a pet supplies company. I have a shih tzu called Cooper and two budgies (Milly and Coco). Like many of you on here, I’m autistic (my diagnosis says ASD/Asperger’s)

I live a strange, monastic lifestyle where I'm unusually cut off from modern influences and spend a lot of time working on improving my holistic health and developing the inner via study and practice. My lifestyle is at odds with running a website, if I'm being honest, due to the time I spend volunteering and being in nature, which is why things don't always get done around here. But I'm doing my best.

**Please keep in mind that I’m on London time and I work full time during the week, so if you message me, you may not get a reply until the weekend depending on the nature and urgency of your query. I cannot work on the site during the week due to my work obligations.*
