About

Welcome to Hooks N Chains, where creativity and craftsmanship come together through the art of crochet. I'm Ashley France-Howell, and I discovered my passion for crochet at the age of 12. What began as a curious exploration soon blossomed into a lifelong journey of creativity and self-expression.

My crochet adventure started with an after school class, and I became “hooked.” As I honed my craft, I began to explore more intricate designs, venturing into creating bags, stuffed animals, and even graphgans (crochet pieces inspired by pixelated designs and images).

Crocheting has always been a beloved hobby of mine. I love the process of turning a simple skein of yarn into something beautiful and functional. I'm continually inspired by the endless possibilities of crochet, and I'm always eager to expand my skills by learning new stitches, techniques, and patterns. Whether it's mastering a complex stitch or experimenting with color combinations, I embrace every opportunity to grow as a crocheter.

Join me on this creative journey as we celebrate the art of crochet together. Explore my collection of handmade creations, and let's share our passion for crochet one stitch at a time.

Thank you for visiting Hooks N Chains. I hope you find your Handcrafted Happiness!
