She has since inspired a community that shares a common interest in creativity, relaxation and joy through crochet.

On the late afternoon and early evening of Thursday 12th December, Sarah-Jayne will welcome enthusiasts and fans to the a venue in Long Eaton to launch her second book.

In an online post, Sarah said: "Having a strong work ethic from a young age, I began working in a Beauty Salon prior to starting College in order to give me a head start. After becoming a fully qualified Beauty Therapist and Sport and fitness therapist, I furthered my career working in one of the most prestigious spas in the UK.

"I have always had a thirst for knowledge and used my passion for this to work within various areas of the Beauty industry before training for my CertEd and teaching in a College environment.

"Once I had finished my University course, I began to fill my spare time with my love of crafts and started a blog in 2011 in order to document my creations and experiences."
