It’s October. It’s time for ‘ween. Added catnip ghosts and candy corn to my inventory for @eclecticmarketappleton Halloween Eclectic Market. October 17, yall! #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #Halloween

A crocheted white creature with black eyes and nose sits in a hand. Yellow and orange yarn forms a pumpkin beside it. The text reads: "HAPPY HALLOWEEN".

Feeling very Jimothy lately. I decided to forgo some responsibilities and whip up a free pattern for this little friend. FREE pattern available here: www.hollyshooks.com/s/stories/jimot… Have at ‘em! And be sure to tag me in your Jimothies.

Visited my 100-year-old gramma and she brought the crocheted cat I made with her to her assisted living home! I’m so tickled that this was one of the things she felt was important enough to her to bring along to her new digs. #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #DumplingCats

This is easily one of the largest commissions I have completed. Jinx’s Fishbones shark-shaped rocket-launcher ended up about three feet long! #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #Fishbones #Arcane

Guess who made the front cover, baybee! Thank you to @herrschners_crafts for featuring my Holiday Hunnies design on the front cover of this year’s Big Book of Christmas Crafts! I am honored! Oh! And the Bird Buds can be found in this one too. ;)

New year, new me, right? Haha! This year has been a weird one. BUT, I'm finally taking the plunge on a project I've been wanting to work on for ages: A self-published pattern book full of my fattest of birds. Step 1) I need help testing patterns. First up: Massive Mallard.

Chicken Bag-Holders continue to be my top-selling pattern through #Ravelry and #Etsy. I may be biased, but it’s such a fun one to make. So many color combination possibilities! #HollysHooks #Crochet #ChickenBagHolder

If yesterday’s Holly-goblin looked familiar, it’s a re-color of my Gizmo pattern. Granted, I should really release it, so it’s not forever in my WIP files. #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #Gizmo #Gremlins

I too was inspired by the #MichaelsGhosts but not the same ones. 👻 I took inspiration from @michaelsstores’ Sweet and Spooky collection, and whipped up a “fraid” of fuzzy ghosts in pinks, white, and grey. FREE pattern by @cafedelcraft

The couple that is crocheted together, stays together… or something like that. Three years later, the crocheted-husband commissioned a crocheted version of his wife. ❤️❤️❤️ #Goals #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #Commission #Caricature

About three years ago, a friend commissioned me to crochet her husband, but make him posable. You bet your butts I was all over that! #HollysHooks #Crochet #Amigurumi #Caricature #Commission

Pretty picked over after #ArtInThePark. Top items were: adopt-a-kitties, mini hats, and the gachapon. Thankful I added the banner to my setup. It made it easy for folks to spot my booth from under their umbrellas. A huge thank you to all those who braved the rain!
