Our Story

A few winters ago, life felt... tangled.

Deadlines, burnout, endless “shoulds” — and zero joy. One chilly evening, I picked up a crochet hook, not to make anything special — just to feel something different.

The first stitches were a disaster. The yarn knotted, my fingers cramped, and the penguin I was trying to make looked more like a lumpy potato. But somehow, I couldn’t stop smiling. With every loop and twist, I started to breathe a little deeper. I wasn’t just making something — I was mending something inside me.

That tiny ball of yarn taught me a big truth: when your hands are busy creating, your heart finally gets a moment to rest.

That’s why I started TheStitchies — a cozy little corner for people who need a breather, a laugh, and a cute little buddy to stitch along with. Here, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about that tiny “oh wow, I did it!” feeling that sneaks up on you somewhere between the first stitch and the last one.

So pick up your hook, take a deep breath, and let’s stitch away the stress together.

Because sometimes, the best way to fix your day is to make something soft, silly, and full of heart.

With love & yarn,
