At age 5 I taught myself how to crochet. By age 11, people around the world noticed my crochet abilities both in complexity and my speed. I am currently designing my own items, giving back to the community and spreading the love of crochet around the world. I call my business Jonah’s Hands, LLC because every piece of work is touched by my hands.
Roots Ethiopia partners with communities in Ethiopia to turn local ideas into lasting change. They work together to improve schools, educate children, enable livelihoods, and include everyone. Donating to Roots Ethiopia is just one of the ways I like to “give back”. They help families in the region where I was born and that’s very special to me. Also, if you’d like to help me and my family return to Ethiopia to see the library/science lab I built and to meet the children in my birth village who use those new facilities please consider donating to my GoFundMe. Thank you crochet friends!

Friendship Bracelets
I love making friendship bracelets. The best part is giving them to others. My friends really appreciate them and I like seeing them wearing the bracelets. Caron Little Crafties is the best yarn for making small projects like these. The package contains several small skeins of different colored yarn so you don't have to purchase the big skeins and deal with the waste. You can get the yarn here:

"In The Round" Crochet Dishcloth
I just love that these dishcloths are round. It's just a little something different that makes them unique. Plus, those bobbles around the edge are awesome! I used Lily Sugar 'N Cream and Scrub Off to make mine.

My Favorite Hook- The Streamline Galaxy Swirl
I frequently get asked how I can crochet so fast without pain in my hands. Well, it has a lot to do with my hook. I’ve used many different kinds of hooks and the most comfortable for me is the Furl’s Streamline Swirl Hook. It is ergonomically correct and is lightweight for my hands. This makes it easy to crochet for long periods of time. It also has excellent stitch definition and allows me to crochet fast. There are many fun colors to choose from and reasonably priced- remember if you crochet a lot, your hooks are an investment.
