Hi, I’m Claire Olivia! I’m a crochet designer, author, housewife, and cat mom to a 5-year-old tortoiseshell cat named Persephone. Life is more fun when you get excited about the little things.

I taught myself to crochet when I was 14 years old with the sole purpose of making stuffed animals, and almost a decade later, that’s still my favorite thing to make. I began designing professionally in 2012 and my work has been published in Crochetvolution, Crochet Spot, and KnitCrate. I have a B.A. in French and English from Portland State University.

I’m also an author! My books Unraveled, The Lost Girl of Goose Creek, and poetry collections are available from Pigeon Press.

Unfortunately for my yarn stash, I am allergic to wool.
