Emma

I’m Emma, the stitch counter behind AmiLoops. I crochet with a 2.5mm hook more often than anything else, and yes, my tension is tight on purpose. I like dense fabric. Clean lines. No stuffing showing through. That kind of tension comes with a price though. Hand cramps. Little dents in my index finger. I’ve paused mid-round just to stretch my hands and shake them out.

I started AmiLoops after frogging one too many projects because of sloppy math in someone else’s pattern. A missing increase. A stitch count that didn’t add up. I was tired of fixing instructions when I just wanted to make something cute. Now I check every round twice. If it says 36 stitches, it will be 36 stitches. Always.
