About Me

I made my very first hat in 2018 with straight knitting needles but did not explore other ways to make them until Mid-2020. Thus began my hat making obsession - with the different sizes of plastic looms, straight needles and circular needles...add in a tiny distraction of making socks and chunky knit blankets - I had winter hats made for both sides of the family and more! But when I moved on to crochet, I found my true love. From crocheting hats, blankets, sweaters, crop tops... you name it.

By the summer of 2021, I moved onto amigurumi. And with my love for chunky yarns, they became the perfect combination for my next and current obsession - plushies! Especially dinosaurs, if you can not already tell from this landing page. I sold out of all my large plushies at my first craft show with my sister in law in September and I've been catching up on local orders since. In between, I completed my first bulk order of hats and scarves with total creative freedom other than the company's color. And I even acquired a few knitting machines for that project! So that was super exciting and fun :)

I launched my website in April of 2022 and the rest is history. Follow along to see when I have restocks and what craft shows we'll be at. I thank and appreciate all of you throughout this journey!!
