Welcome to Crochet Concepts, the home of Midwest Crochet on Etsy... and thank you for shopping handmade!

I am a beach girl at heart and living in the cold Midwest. I believe accessories (and paprika) are the spice of life.

Born and raised in New York City, I’ve spent my entire life in show business. As I traveled the world, toting gear and lighting stages for rock stars, working behind the scenes in television and hanging with elephants in the circus, I entertained myself with art of crochet.

Eventually, I began selling my designs and creations to friends and colleagues. It was a natural next step to take my creations to the masses. My designs are perfectly practical, befitting my new Midwestern home. But they can also be elegant and even fanciful, inspired by the vivacious glamour of I Love Lucy and the mystical works of C.S. Lewis.

I put my heart into each design and stitch and create truly wearable art. I enjoy mixing up vibrant color, stitch texture, and, voila, you’ve got a recipe for an amazing, weather ready look.
