About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
My name is Abby and I have been making things for as long as I can remember. Some of my previous ideas, such as a Short Circuit-inspired robot made out of styrofoam meat trays (age 5) and a half-man/half-woman costume for everyday wear (age 8) have not yet garnered widespread appeal, but abbyhugs have! abbyhugs are hats, glovelettes, scarves--pretty much anything you can make with a crochet needle and yarn. The abbyhugs pictured here are examples of the many things I can make for you--if you can imagine it, I can make it! This includes baby/children's hats, sports teams, something sparkly, etc. I'm happy to take custom orders, so email me here!I've also started making one-of-a-kind, hand-stenciled scarves, shirts and dresses, and the new sewing machine is begging for use...more to come on that.Oh, and since I can't follow a pattern to save my life, I make up my own, so please let me know if you have an unnaturally large head or something. Don't laugh, some people do. Ask my sister (sorry, Kate).
