It has been a while since my latest blog post. Time for a personal update! I have some super exciting news to share. As of January first I quit my jobs to start for myself. Next year I will focus full time on designing crochet patterns and running my blog(s). This is work that can be done from home and therefore easy to combine with some traveling, something I will do a lot next year, more about that later this week!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For the last two years I was quite busy. I worked part-time, finished a full time master of science and worked on my blog wilmade.com. I only had limited time to work on my blog \u2013 mostly evenings and weekends \u2013 and I wasn\u2019t able to create and publish as much patterns as I wanted. But nevertheless things worked out great. I achieved higher numbers, website visitors and collaborations than I hoped for and later in 2017 this crazy hobby of mine got out of hand. So I decided to create more time next year and focus full time on my crochet blog!<\/p>\n<p>Today was my last working day at ECP \u2013 a very special day actually because I was at a conference in Swiss, so nice! \u2013 and last week I had my last day of work at KeyGene. At both organizations I worked two days a week during the past year, which I found a nice, varied combination. The last three years I have learnt a lot at KeyGene\u2019s communication and PR department and almost two years at ECP&#8217;s communications department. My work mainly focused on managing websites, social media and organizing events.<\/p>\n<p>I will certainly miss my colleagues, but I am also looking forward to my next adventure! First I am going to enjoy the holidays and then it\u2019s time to enjoy the entrepreneurship!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello all!
