Meet the maker Hook & Rose

I am a crochet and knitting addict, living in Sheffield, England. I make everything at Hook & Rose myself, and I love what I do. I take great care over choosing high quality materials and creating my own designs. I am very fond of antique and vintage everything, and sometimes use original antique/vintage patterns in addition to my own designs, as I enjoy the challenge of recreating something exactly as it would have been made a long time ago!

I prefer to use natural materials, mainly cotton and silk and sometimes wool / alpaca yarns, depending on the item. I like to embellish my work with genuine Swarovski crystal and pearl beads, semi-precious stones, pretty buttons (which may be new or vintage) and, occasionally, beautiful handmade Czech glass buttons.

My home is smoke free. I have two pet cats, who are kept away from my workspace and materials (but not from me!)

I hope you enjoy browsing, and find something you like.

I am always interested in custom orders and would be happy to discuss any ideas you may have for a special item.
