✨Know some crochet already or it’s been a minute since you picked up a hook?

You probably don’t need a whole program, just a little targeted help.

🎉That’s what 1:1 sessions are for. Book them as-needed, up to 60 minutes each (even if we wrap up early). We can work on any stitch or technique from beginner through intermediate, including reading written patterns.

This is the best option for you! You can hire me 1:1 with individual sessions as you need them! Each session is reserved for up to 60 minutes, even if it doesn’t take that long!

🧶💜Here’s a quick and simple way to join 2 yarns together mid project. I love this method when using the same colorway.
👇🏻
HINT: When using a variegated or self striping yarn, try to have the join in the same color section. 😉

👀Confession: I design patterns specifically so your brain can check out for a while.

Beginner to intermediate, easy to memorize, perfect for “I don’t want to think, I just want to stitch and stare at the TV” energy. That’s not an accident 😉 that’s the whole point. Crochet is self-care, not another to-do list, and my patterns are built to let you actually relax into it instead of white-knuckling a more complex pattern.

Fun fact I don’t say enough: I’m actually a Certified Crochet Pattern Author through the American Crochet Association (basically a bachelor’s degree, but for making things you can wear). And I’ve been publishing patterns professionally since 2018. 👍🏻

I even turned that whole obsession into a book🧶 The Creative Journaling Experience: Crochet Meets Mindset, for anyone who wants the mindset side of things too.

Anyway, if you’ve been here for the mindset talk but didn’t realize I also make the actual patterns behind it, welcome 👋🏻here’s my shop: ravelry.com/designers/amanda-woodbury-mindful-hook-designs

Go make something mindless. You deserve it.💜

🥳It’s WIP Wednesday, which in my world doesn’t just mean “work in progress” on the hook, it means work in progress on me too.

Here’s what’s currently living in my lap: a patriotic theme 6 day star blanket! The pattern is Ridgy Didge from Betty McKnit. I have a love/hate relationship with blankets, so this one is helping me relax and really come back to the core of what crochet means for me, outside of the business. 🥰

But here’s the thing about a WIP. It’s not finished, it’s not perfect, and it doesn’t need to be either of those things to be worth showing up for.

Every stitch is just… the next one. That’s kind of the whole philosophy behind The Mindful Hook; you don’t need a finished object to justify picking up your hook. You just need the next stitch.🌱

What’s on your hook today? Drop a photo below 🧶I’d love to see what you’re working on.

If you’re new here - Hey! I’m Amanda Woodbury, a mindfully hooked crochet designer, instructor, and handmade retailer for The Mindful Hook and I help women slow down, pick up a hook, and reconnect with themselves one stitch at a time.🧶💜
