A Stitch in Time: My Journey with Crochet and the Road Ahead

April 1st is a special day—my 47th birthday! 🎉 And as I celebrate another year of life, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that brought me here. It’s a journey stitched together with resilience, healing, and creativity, all woven through the art of crochet.

How It All Began

I picked up a crochet hook for the first time 38 years ago, never realizing how much it would shape my life. At first, it was just a fun hobby, something to keep my hands busy. But as the years passed, crochet became something much more—a source of comfort, an escape from pain, and a way to express myself when words weren’t enough.

I’ve faced my share of challenges—stress, anxiety, and chronic pain that at times felt overwhelming. But crochet gave me a way to slow down, breathe, and find moments of peace in the chaos. Each stitch was a small act of self-care, a reminder that even when life felt out of control, I could still create something beautiful with my own two hands.

Crochet as Healing

What I love most about crochet is how it nurtures not just the hands, but the mind and soul. Over the years, I’ve seen how something as simple as yarn and a hook can become a powerful tool for stress relief, pain distraction, and emotional healing. Crochet has been my therapy, my safe space, and my creative sanctuary.

And now, I want to share that with others.

My Mission Moving Forward

As I step into this next chapter of my life, my vision is clear: I want to help women use crochet as a tool for healing, peace, and creative expression. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like there’s never enough time for yourself. But I also know that carving out moments for creativity can be life-changing.

That’s why I am creating the The Crochet Reset, a series of crochet experiences designed to help women find calm, confidence, and joy through stitching. Whether you're looking for a mindful escape, a way to manage anxiety, or just a fun, creative hobby, I want to help you get there—without the stress or overwhelm.
