Hey, I’m Angie – the Creator/crochet Artist/Blogger of MyHookUpz which is a Blog dedicated to yarn lovers

who are looking to embrace their crochet creativity!

I am a yarn addict whose passion is crocheting & pattern designing.  I currently live in NC with my husband and high school sweetheart.  I have a son and daughter, and 1 fur baby named Teddy.  I think he loves yarn as much as I do! I also have 3 grand-dogs -“Punky” (he’s the sweetest, spoiled Chihuahua you’ve ever seen) & “Indy” pit/lab mix, she’s a loving 40 lb lap dog with lots of energy!) and the newest addition “Baxter” he’s a fun loving, sweet boy!

I picked up a little crochet when when I was a little girl from my mom but, I am mostly self taught, lots of YouTube videos and trial and error!!

A few years ago my wonderful hardworking husband started on a new work journey, which kept him on the road quite often.  We decided it was time for me to quit my banking job to travel with him.

It was then I started crocheting pretty much full time.  Crocheting was something I loved to do, and YARN was easy enough to take with me.

I’ve realized one thing – if you are truly passionate about something, you can make it work for you.

It took me a while but, finally in 2017 I started my Etsy shop. It’s really been a great start to my business!

In 2018 we transitioned from a 2200 sq ft. house that we lived in for over 25 years into a 468 sq ft. house at the lake. Wow, it was so amazing to down size and declutter. NOW we live in a ranch style home in the country with more room and land than we’ve ever had.  We absolutely love living here!  For the first time we are gonna be grandparents and we are so excited!  In September 2023 we will have a little baby  girl, I am so gonna be crocheting a lot of little girls things!  Thank you for hanging out with me, continue to check in I will be adding and working on this site here and there in between orders and loving on my new grand-baby!
