Hello World!

Hajime mashite! It’s nice to meet you all! My name is Jackie, and I’m a crochet artist. I’ve been crocheting since 2013, and haven’t been able to stop since (one might even say I’m ‘hooked’ on it). I love to make cute nerdy things, so you’ll often see me making characters from anime, video games, and more. On this website I plan to blog about my crochet projects, publish some free patterns for all you other makers out there, and most important of all, I plan to have fun!
