Hi there! I’m Dana

And my main goal is to help you make money with your favorite hobby.

 
 
 
 

I’m the designer and creator behind Day’s Crochet and Crochet Design Academy. Since I’ve started designing in 2020, I’ve designed and published over 100 crochet patterns and I’ve been featured in national crochet magazines like WeCrochet and Crochet World by Annie’s publications. In just 3 short years, I was able to create a sustainable and dependable income with my crochet business so that I could quit my job.

But here’s the brutal truth: NONE of that means anything to you if I’m not able to transfer what I know about building a successful crochet business over to you.

The reality is that every ounce of my current success is hard fought. I started out at ZERO, just like you. I was a stay-at-home mom with just my hook, some yarn, and a dream to be able to make money from home. Equipped with a lot of determination and the knowledge I’ve gleaned from over the past 3 years, I went from an obscure hobbyist to a successful crochet boss—and I know that YOU can too.
