WELCOME!Hiya, my name is Kunbi, the maker behind Handmade by Kunbi.
I started knitting and crocheting at the age of 8 and although I abandoned the craft from when I was a teenager until well into my 30s, I pretty much hit the ground running when I decided to pick up my knitting needles and crochet hooks again. I haven’t looked back since. Handmade by Kunbi was born when I started getting custom orders and subsequently started writing patterns.
I’m a medical writer during the day, a wife and mummy to a very energetic six year old going on sixteen and a baby girl born in June 2018. I enjoy writing and I have authored a few blogs during different seasons in my life.
I’m a coffee lover who loves to read, listen to music, write worship songs inspired by a heart filled with awe and wonder for God, and hang out with my family. I enjoy laughing all the laughs and making people laugh.
To find out more about Handmade by Kunbi, head on over to the About section. I look forward to connecting with you 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Blessings,
Now to catch up on all I’ve missed. Please feel me in…what are we supposed to be doing for engagement now? Hehee!

C2C + yarn cake = always a glorious union. Working c2c is mindless crocheting for me, which I am loving right now.
I’m crocheting a blanket for my living room. Not sure how big I want it but the beauty of c2c is that it’ll be easy for me to decide how big before I start decreasing 🙌🏽.
The yarn 🧶 is scrumptious and lush to work with 😍😍. It’s called Hurricane and I purchased it from @hobbii_yarn.
Do you crochet c2c?
