Welcome to Smelly Cat Designs – Where Yarn Comes to Life!
I’m passionate about transforming strands of yarn into handmade crochet creations that bring charm, character, and a touch of joy into everyday life.
Each piece is individually handmade in the UK using traditional crochet techniques blended with modern design influences. I focus on creating detailed amigurumi-style pieces that are intended as collectibles, decorative items, and personalised handmade gifts.
.
🧶 My Style & Process
My work combines:
* Traditional crochet craftsmanship
* Modern colour palettes and character design
* Intricate, detail-focused construction
I am self-taught, having learned crochet through online tutorials, and I continue to develop my skills through experimentation and design exploration.
Every item is made by hand with care, patience, and attention to detail.
.
💛 Custom Work
I love bringing ideas to life through custom crochet commissions. If you’re looking for something unique, feel free to message me to discuss a bespoke creation.
.
🏆 Selected Highlights & Features
Over the years, my work has been featured in a variety of projects and publications, including:
* Collaboration work with Anthea Turner and Wendy Turner on crochet interpretations of their Underneath the Underground series
* A featured handmade crochet design in Crafts Beautiful magazine (Nov 2018 issue)
* A design featured in media coverage involving Stacey Solomon’s daughter (2018)
