One bright and cheery day in Middle Tennessee, Karen met Andria. Andria, who was already a crochet wiz, quickly taught Karen this skilled art. The duo began using their talent to help babies and children in need. The first mission was helping newborn preemie babies at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville, TN. Which then lead into helping babies and toddlers recover from airway surgeries due to Laryngomalacia with a non-profit group called Coping With Laryngomalacia, Inc. Karen and Andria have also donated scarves to the 2012 Special Olympics and helped local churches with fundraisers for mission work. One of the newest charity groups they have been working with is Loops of Hope who uses donated granny squares from crocheters around the world to make a blanket for a child who is ill. Charity work is very important to these two, so not only do they crochet for those in need, they also donate a portion of each sale to a charity near and dear to their hearts.

Karen and Andria spend most of their free time crocheting when they are not chasing around their young children or working their full time jobs. Both love to experiment with their art and accept custom orders or ideas. Feel free to contact them day or night.
