Hi everyone, I’m Angel a crochet designer living out my creative dreams recreating the images of adorable dogs and cats in yarn. My husband and I are empty nesters living in Columbus, Ohio. We have raised 3 amazing sons and I now have time to put my crafty tendencies to work.

My realistic dog and cat cup cozy series all started after making a special gift for my parents. We are a family of true dog lovers and anything having to do with our pets delights us. So, I decided to crochet a cozy that resembled their Maltese named Mickey. Their reaction upon opening the handmade gift was so special, my mom even gave it a kiss!

It took on a life of its own since then. Everybody wanted to see their favorite breed in cozy form. My process is to look at a photo of the breed then find the perfect yarn and after a lot of trial and error to get the unique features and proportions correct I develop the design.

Fellow crocheters begged me to write my patterns, so they could make them too. There was a big learning curve there, but I did a deep dive into learning how to write, test and release crochet patterns. It is now my favorite thing to do!

I currently have over 80 designs full of tail wag-worthy cuteness, but I am not finished yet. There are a lot more breeds on my to-do list!
