My very first crochet challenge began when a friend asked me to create an amigurumi mascot for her app—a blue-footed booby named Benny. With no kits or patterns to guide me, I relied on imagination, persistence, and plenty of trial and error. Within a month, Benny was born, and soon a whole flock of blue-footed beauties followed!

From there, requests poured in—blankets, stuffed animals, and keepsakes for grandbabies—and before I knew it, I was truly hooked (pun intended). Each piece I make is more than just a gift; it’s a heartfelt expression of love and care, crafted stitch by stitch with my own two hands. The joy these creations bring to family, friends, and even their pets fuels my passion and inspires me to keep exploring new ideas.

What started as a personal adventure quickly grew into a collaborative journey. Suggestions from loved ones now shape my catalog, sparking fresh designs and themes that turn every item into a story waiting to be shared.

At Hook’d, these handcrafted treasures are more than crochet—they’re symbols of connection, creativity, and joy that families can cherish for years to come.

And I’m always ready for the next challenge—whether it’s socks, baby booties, or something entirely new. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what keeps my crochet needles flying
