Rebekah's Story
Crocheting has been a heartfelt part of my life since age eight, when my mother introduced me to the craft—a bond and tradition I still treasure today. What began as a childhood hobby quickly grew into a true passion and a way to connect with fellow crafters, allowing me to forge friendships and share creativity with others who love making things by hand.
Inspiration finds me everywhere, whether I'm traveling and witnessing the vibrant artistic traditions of other cultures or simply observing ordinary moments in daily life. Each experience encourages me to infuse unique ideas and techniques into my creations, reflecting a global love for fiber art. Sustainability also plays a vital role in my process; I thoughtfully seek out safe, eco-friendly materials for every crafting opportunity.
In 2023, I created Off the Hook Crochet, originally offering custom amigurumi designs to local patrons and later publishing my own patterns for crafters on Etsy. By 2024, teaching crochet workshops became a true source of fulfillment, allowing me to share my passion in a classroom setting. Now, I teach workshops at public libraries throughout the region where I can further celebrate student successes and watch new friendships blossom. I am devoted to crochet education, nurturing a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone is inspired and supported as they create beautiful, meaningful art with their own hands.
