Overview

In 2016, Zoë was accepted to a doctoral program here in Montreal, and quickly realized that they needed to find themselves a hobby to help deal with stress and anxiety, and crochet kind of fell their my lap. It became quite obvious that crochet wasn’t only a hobby, but an obsession! Their passion for crochet and fiber arts grew quickly, and so did their pile of creations! That’s when they started selling them on Etsy and through Brock-Art, a local store that proudly represents local artists. The confidence and support from these two platforms motivated them to continue and grow my craft. It’s crazy to think that they started by making tiny crocheted cacti to offering popular Crochet 101 workshops and lessons! Never in a million years did they think that their hobby would turn into something so much bigger! In 2019, they opened Crochet & Co, and couldn't believe it! It took a burnout and a mental health leave from their Doctorate to realize that their passion wasn’t books and studies, but being surrounded by yarn and people that want to develop their passions, just like they did! We strive for an inclusive and safe space, where all people and crafts are welcomed and celebrated in our space.
