Welcome!

Hi! I’m Ashlea, the Kansas mom that runs this crochet, food, and heart (CHD) blog. I am a frugal, yarn loving crochet addict that enjoys good food and fine wine - or an occasional whiskey.

Check out my NEW crochet hook set here, read more about me here, and see my favorite Amazon products here.

Support Heart Hook Home

I was asked recently if there was an easy way to support the Heart Hook Home blog without spending an extra dime. The answer is a resounding YES (and thank you)!

I love to share my knowledge and ideas, and I love that YOU love them enough to share them as well! You are free to sell products made from my patterns, all I ask is that you do not use my images to represent your work and that you link back to my pattern in your listings. Want to share my content on your blog/social media? Thank you!
