handmade crochet with a twist

Welcome to the Lionrealm — where yarn meets the slightly weird and wonderfully warm.
I’m the maker behind the madness here at Lionrealm: A one-human crochet kingdom born from a long line of crafty hands. I first picked up a hook thanks to my talented mother, who picked it up from someone else in the realm, and I’ve been tangled in yarn ever since.

Each item you’ll find here is handmade by me in a smoke-free, cat-friendly home, so don’t be surprised if your afghan arrives with a little feline-approved magic woven in.

The Shop pieces are ready to ship and the Gallery shows examples of past creations that can inspire your one-of-a-kind custom order. Want something in a different size, color palette, or yarn type? Let’s collaborate! I love turning your strange and beautiful ideas into cozy, functional art.

I work with a mix of high-quality yarns, think cotton, merino wool, acrylic, bamboo, nylon, blends, and sometimes mysterious leftovers for my “mixed-up scrapghans” (which have serious personality). Ready-to-ship items go out within a day or two. Custom work takes more time depending on yarn availability, piece size, and how many projects I’m juggling. But I always give time estimates up front and keep you updated along the way.

All sales are final (no returns or exchanges), so if you have questions or want to brainstorm something custom, reach out before purchasing — I’m happy to help!
