My Story
"Stitch by stitch, we heal, we remember, and we create."
Stitchcraft & Sorcery began as a quiet ritual -- a way to keep my hands busy, just like my grandmother taught me. She passed this craft to me when I was only seven. Our relationship was complicated, layered, real -- but her influence runs deep, and it's through crochet that I feel closest to her spirit.
Over the years, I've picked up my hook and put it down again, but something always pulled me back. Now I've chosen to walk this path full-time -- not just to create beautiful things, but to build a community of makers, learners, and dreamers. This shop is the beginning of something bigger; a place to share the joy of crafting, to teach what I've learned, and to inspire others to create with intention.
Whether you're here to shop, to learn, or just to feel connected -- you belong here.
Welcome to Stitchcraft & Sorcery.
