Hooked On Yarn

With all that is going on here in Ontario, it’s easy for things to feel real heavy, real quick. Don’t forget to take time for things that spark joy in your heart. For me, that includes crochet, tending to my plants, and walking with my dog. What are you doing to bring some happiness to your days lately?

Has anyone else been collecting plants through this lockdown or is it just me? Loving how this green shawls matches my plants! Available now in my Etsy shop. Link in bio to shop.

Hoppy Easter everyone! Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend ☺️

So excited about this colourway. The most beautiful dark magenta, with pink highlights. Swipe to see a close up 😍😍

Happy Monday friends!!
Triangle Shawls are finished and ready to hit the Etsy shop this week. I have four colourways for you to choose from. Which is your favorite?

Happy Friday everyone!

I’m still working away on getting some triangle shawls ready for my Etsy shop and hope to be able to have those listed for you by April 1st.

In the meantime, my winter clearance is still on going in my Etsy shop. Save 40% on winter accessories until the end of the month.

I thought I’d do a little ‘Meet the Maker’ as I’ve never really formally introduced myself on here.

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m Melissa, self-taught crocheter, and lover of all things cozy. I taught myself to crochet one afternoon out of boredom and haven’t looked back since. You can usually find me with hook and yarn 🧶 in hand crocheting away, browsing the yarn aisle, or hanging with my dog 🐶 , Sam. I’m a lover of nature 🍃, so you may see the occasional nature pic from my walks in my stories. I’m currently engaged to the man of my dreams (who also doubles as my photographer when you see pics of me), and currently finalizing our wedding plans for this May (🤞🏼 we can move forward).

I started my Insta in August 2020 to showcase and sell my work, but I’ve been delighted to find such a wonderful community of local makers and creators here. I’ve been able to find the most unique and meaningful gifts thanks to the connections I’ve made.

Well that’s enough about me, drop me a line below to say hi and tell me a little about yourself!

And also, SURPRISE, the triangle shawl doubles as a stunning scarf 😍

Happy Friday everyone, we made it through another week!!

I’ve been promising pictures of the triangle shawl in action all week, so here she is in all her glory. This shawl drapes effortlessly, and is so soft and cozy. The perfect piece to add to your wardrobe, and coming soon to Etsy.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I’m hoping everyone is having the best week possible. Who else has been loving the prolonged daylight hours lately? I know I sure have been.

Here’s another shot of my new triangle shawl. It’s the perfect layering piece as the days start to get warmer and we can start ditching our parkas.
