Hi and welcome!

This blog was created for the intermediate level crocheter that already knows the basic stitches but needs some guidance getting to the advanced techniques. There is plenty of information out there for beginner crocheters, so I wanted to fill the gap for intermediate level crocheters.

Why a crochet blog?

I started this crochet blog because of my love for crochet and hope to inspire and assist others to level up their skills. Picking up new skills and techniques isn't always smooth, so I wanted to share helpful information to hopefully make it an easier journey for you. In this blog you will find:

  • Tips
  • Techniques and explanations
  • Tutorials
  • Patterns

Intermediate crochet tutorials, techniques, and patterns, are explained through detailed, step-by-step tutorials that make complex patterns achievable.

My Story

A picture of Kimberly, the creator of Collectively Hooked.

I'm Kimberly, a Health Care Administration professional who became a SAHP (thanks stupid pandemic). Married with 2 kiddos, life is busy and half the time I don't know if I'm coming or going, but the memories make it worth every moment.

I had been into crochet from an early age, so it’s always been part of my life. Into crafts as a kid, a family member taught me to crochet. I loved creating different things, but life happens and I drifted from crochet! After a longer than planned break, I got back into crochet in 2024. In snippets of free time, I've been teaching myself new skills, new crochet stitches and patterns, personal development, expanding my personal library of books, gardening, and other assorted projects. Over the last year crochet has been a welcomed stress reliever along with some of my other hobbies. I also love gaming, puzzles, watching movies and k-dramas, archery, and I love reading anything that keeps my interest. You don't want to see my “to be read” list!

I decided to share my love for crochet by starting this blog after I had friends and family expressing interest in my crochet pieces.
