About Me

Hello there!
I’m Ash, the creative humanoid behind Whimsy Shades of Crochet, where crochet whimsy dreams come to life.

Nestled magically in Canada, I find endless inspiration in endless ways including my imaginative daughter who designed Stella’s Monsters with me. Partnering with my 9 year old in creating playful, unique monsters that the kiddos (and adults) in your life will love and enjoy, is the highlight of my crocheting career.

From whimsical amigurumi plushies to fun fidgety patterns, my designs are crafted with love and a meticulous attention to detail. With a background in various arts, and the attention to detail with my expertise as a wedding planner, I bring ingenuity and fun ideas to every pattern I create.

Beyond designing, I am passionate about sharing the joy of crochet with fellow enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned hook wizard or a novice looking to learn, you’ll find creative patterns, content creating and crochet photography tips that fit your needs. Explore my collection, get inspired, and let’s bring your crochet visions to life!

On a personal note, I am a stay at home parent who homeschools my wonderful daughter who is super smart, sassy, and super fun! I have been married to my wonderful husband for 10 years in November. These two are my favourite humans and they are my biggest supporters. Whimsy Shades of Crochet wouldn’t be here without them.

If you’re looking for a positive cheerleader while you work on your crochet journey, whether it is business wise or as a hobby, I am here for you. Let’s pop on our sunglasses and get this crochet party started!
