Dogwood Mountain Arts Blog is created to be a place of education and striving for excellence and mastery in crochet. Each of our informational posts have been researched using a combination of historical documents as well as antique and modern crochet sources. Educational posts are researched and written with over 15yrs experience in the craft. We strive to provide adequate sources in order to encourage you to be inspired in your craft and dig further into the knowledge and history of it. Our hope is not to provide simply tutorials, patterns, or how-to’s; but to equip you as a crocheter with the techniques and how to use them so you can grow in your confidence and artistry. However, if you find we are lacking in something or you wish to inquire about certain sources, email us at:
If you wish to see what products we offer, there will be links to our Etsy on applicable pages. There is also a permanent link on the home page to the Etsy shop.
About Hannah:
Hannah is the creator and writer of Dogwood Mountain Arts and has over 15yrs experience in crochet.
Starting in my early teens, I made simple, single-stitch projects. In college, I discovered that baking and crochet could be extremely helpful stress relief. Many of my college classmates and professors ended up with gifts of cookies, cowls, and coffee cozies through exam and concert seasons. In that period of time, I discovered the enjoyment and love of teaching crochet. It wasn’t until 2022, after the birth of my third baby that I found Irish crochet lace and was hooked.
Dogwood Mountain Arts was founded in 2025 as a way to grow my skills in crochet and provide resources for encouraging other crocheters to excel at their craft. Many of the resources referenced and used have been a product of deep dives into the internet sources such as; Antique Pattern Library, Interweave Press, JSTOR, and other articles and publications. Many times over I wished there were resources, reviews, instructions, and modern explanations of Irish Crochet techniques. However, I found that there is a severe lack of internet resources in these areas of crochet in the United States. Until I have an opportunity to travel to Ireland and invest in learning from those who have passed down the art of Irish Crochet, I have this blog as a way to find and create that which was lacking for me.
