I’ve been hooked on fiber crafts since I learned to crochet at 14, and my passion has only grown! By 22, I was spinning my own yarn, and a year later, I dove into dyeing and processing fiber. At 25, I picked up knitting, completing my fiber journey. I’m always up for learning new techniques and taking on creative challenges. If it involves yarn, fiber, or needles, I’m in!

As a mom of 5, I started crocheting and knitting to outfit my babies. As they grew, I was completely hooked on yarn crafts and discovered the deep rabbit hole of different patterns and got addicted to sock knitting. My knitting motto is: "Anything is possible, it is all just one stitch at a time!"

My mother is what you would call a "handy maker" and as a young child I was fascinated by what she was doing. I guess I got "in her face" once too often because by the time I was five she had stuck a crochet hook in my hands. That was the beginning of my life as a creative; you could say I was "hooked".
