Hi, I’m Ali — the maker behind Threads of Yesternight
Welcome to my little corner of yarn, stories, and cozy chaos!
I’m a crochet designer, mom, and storyteller. I believe that creativity doesn’t have to be expensive or perfect. It just has to be you.
Threads of Yesternight started with a cup of coffee. I had a skein of yarn and a dream. I wanted to create something meaningful with my hands while raising my daughter by my side. I wanted to show that you can build a crochet business. You can also create a life you love. This is possible even when you’re starting from scratch. You don’t need a fancy setup or a huge budget. Just heart and hustle are required.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is my way of sharing everything I’ve learned along the way. I cover everything from creating low-to-no-sew crochet patterns that are beginner-friendly. These patterns are also market-ready. I also share how to grow a handmade business that actually feels good.
You’ll find:
- Free crochet tutorials & tips
- Budget-friendly business advice for makers
- Behind-the-scenes peeks at my designs and process
- And lots of encouragement for your creative journey
If you’re just picking up a hook for the first time, I’m here to remind you. Even if you are dreaming of selling your makes, I’m here to encourage you. You don’t need fancy tools. You don’t need a perfect plan either. All you need is just a little yarn and a lot of heart.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not crocheting, you’ll usually find me:
– sipping coffee surrounded by my plants
– hanging out with my pets — Bruce, and Nymphadora
– making up stories and plushie lore with my daughter
– dreaming up new patterns late at night (with way too many tabs open)
I’m open about living with AuDHD, anxiety, and depression. Crochet has become both my creative outlet and my calm. This space is built on honesty, creativity, and community. No matter where you are in your journey, you belong here.
