Meet and Make: Mikey aka Michael Sellick

October 21, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Mikey akA MichaeL Sellick at The Crochet Crowd StudioI am Michael Sellick, online I’m known as Mikey. I am totally consumed by the crafting ideas that bounce in my head. I social network most of the day, every day, and end up crafting in bed at night time watching Netflix. I am the creator of The Crochet Crowd . My website is dedicated to giving away free patterns and tutorials on how to create projects.

10 Fun Facts About Me

  1. I’m addicted to two things; spending a lot of time on the computer creating content and crafting. Thus making what I do true passion.
  2. I listen to the same music playlist on YouTube virtually everyday to fill in the white noise of a quiet house as I work.
  3. Kraft dinner is the best meal ever invented.
  4. When teaching live in person, I’m known to “Queen out and break creativity wide open”.
  5. I sometimes go grocery shopping with my Crocs on… please don’t call the fashion police.
  6. I struggle to back a car into a parking space. Ironically, I used to be a truck driver and could do that fine.
  7. The sound of the cat licking itself is a sound that drives me up the wall.
  8. I love dry, sarcastic and witty humour.
  9. If I could start a collection right now, I would collect high heel stilettos.
  10. Netflix is the next best thing to sliced bread.

Here’s Your Project Today

Beanie Hat For Men with Style

The Crochet Crowd's Design Hat

A new pattern released by Michael Sellick.

Materials

  • Size H or 5.5 MM Crochet Hook
  • 2 Ball of Bernat Mosaic Yarn

Notes

  • I used 2 balls of yarn at the same time to double up the thickness of the yarn to provide better insulation and texture.
  • When using two yarn at the same time, it’s cooler to not have the yarn shade colours to not match each other. This creates a more interesting and unpredictable look to your beanie hat.
