About From My Hook

At From My Hook, I create thoughtfully designed premium crochet patterns for gifts and keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come. My designs are rooted in integrity, quality, and craftsmanship, with a focus on modern simplicity, calm, and playfulness.

Crochet is more than just a hobby — it’s a moment of stillness, a way to reconnect with yourself, and a means of showing thoughtfulness and generosity to others. That’s why my patterns are crafted to help you elevate your skills, explore your creativity, and add those extra special touches that make every handmade piece uniquely yours.

My Mission

To inspire and support crocheters and designers alike — helping makers explore the craft, enhance their skills, and enjoy moments of calm, while providing designers with the clarity, tools, and professional support they need to publish patterns with confidence.

My Vision

To be the go-to resource for crochet makers and designers seeking to create meaningful keepsakes and share polished, professional patterns that reflect integrity, craftsmanship, and creativity.

Meet the maker

I am Kelly and I am the maker, designer and all around everything behind from my hook.

My journey to crochet hasn’t been a straight line. With a background in law and politics, life took an unexpected turn when mobility challenges left me housebound. Crochet became both a lifeline and a passion — a way to cope with long-term pain while finding purpose and joy in creating.

Handmaking gifts has become my way of showing love and care, when I can’t always be physically present. That deep appreciation for slow, intentional giving now runs through everything I design.

Growing with the Craft

Alongside designing patterns for makers, I’m committed to supporting fellow designers. Over the past few years, I’ve invested in my professional development by completing:

  • Pattern Writing Course with Edie Eckman
  • Certified Tech Editor Program with Carol Ibbetson (Cool Wool School)
  • Next Level Amigurumi Design with Hooked by Kati

I’m also an active member of the Crochet Business Academy and the Cool Wool Community, where I continue to learn, grow, and share insights with other industry professionals.

In the months ahead, I’ll be expanding From My Hook to offer tech editing and pattern writing services, bringing the same values of thoughtfulness, clarity, and craftsmanship that guide my designs to help other crochet designers shine.

My Patterns

Every From My Hook pattern is thoughtfully designed and human-made with care. My premium PDFs are:

  • Professionally tech edited – so you can trust their accuracy and clarity.
  • Clearly formatted – easy to follow whether on screen or in print.
  • Print-friendly – clean layouts that won’t drain your ink.
  • Step-by-step photo appendix – guiding you through every stage.
  • Special stitch photo guides – so you never feel stuck or unsure.

I want you to enjoy every step of the making process. As a one-woman show, I may not always be able to reply instantly, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions — I’m always happy to help.

From my Hook is for you

If you’re a busy, thoughtful maker who values slow living over consumerism, sees crochet as a calming ritual, and loves the idea of giving gifts that carry meaning, you’ll feel right at home here.

And if you’re a fellow designer looking for a supportive, detail-oriented partner to refine your patterns and elevate your work, I’d love to walk that journey with you too.

Together, we can create with care, grow in skill, and celebrate the joy of handmade keepsakes.
