About Ashlea of Heart Hook Home:

My name is Ashlea Konecny and I am a wife, mother of two young boys, and yarn enthusiast. I also love to read, and since that isn’t conducive to crochet, I spend most of my crochet time listening to audio books while I work. I would spend every day “reading” and crocheting if I could!

Blanket Cardigan by Heart Hook Home

My passion for crochet started about five years ago when my little brother Forrest taught me to crochet over the Christmas holiday. Something he told me during our first lesson that I’ve never forgotten: “it’s just one strand of yarn, you can’t screw it up so badly that you can’t rip it out and start again”. He was right, and I haven’t been able to put down the hook since!

Since starting Heart Hook Home, I have been featured on Country Living, Martha Stewart, in Chickens magazine, Homespun magazine, Wichita magazine, and on Buzz Feed and Little Things. I am thrilled to have reached millions and millions of like-minded fiber enthusiasts!

    I enjoyed today’s podcast, Marly and Ashlea. What lovely garment and blanket designs you showed today. I especially liked the shawl you were wearing, the hoodie with pocket, the beret you made for your friend, and the woven in time blanket. Prayers for continued healing for your son’s heart condition.

    Hello Marly! I was able to watch the podcast when I got home from work. Loved Ashlea’s creations. I’ve been crocheting for 2 1/2 yrs and love watching fellow crocheters and learning new patters. I have always crochet with Red Heart and I love the Red Heart wth Love. I loved the podcast and the chemo Beret that Ashlea made super cute.
