Knit and crochet accessories for you and your home. Create. Adore. Share. Repeat. Everything you'll find is simple, fun, useful and (of course) handmade.
I'm a 4th generation crochet artist and a self-taught knitter based in the California Bay Area. I started The BackLoop to have a place devoted to knit and crochet accessories for you and your home.
