Amy O'Neill Houck

I’m a writer and crochet and knitwear designer. I learned to crochet at the age of eight from my grandmother, and never stopped.

I blog at The Hook and I about fiber, food and life in coastal Alaska where I live with my family. I’m the co-editor of Inside Crochet magazine, and I’m the author of The Color Book of Felted Crochet, Creative Homeowner Publishing, Inc., Knits for Bears to Wear, a book of knits for teddy bears, dolls and toys of all sorts published in 2008 by Potter Craft, and its companion book, Crochet for Bears to Wear, to be published this spring (2010).
