Meet the Artist Behind the Stitches

Hey there, I'm Nichole Schneider, the heart and hands behind Cloud9CrochetShop. I’m lucky to call Michigan’s Upper Peninsula home, where the breathtaking scenery inspires my creativity every day. When I’m not crocheting, I’m spending time with my beloved companions—Sketchy, my feisty chihuahua, and Jojo, my playful sugar glider.

Crafting has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was fortunate to learn crochet and knitting at a young age from my mother and grandmother, igniting a love for fiber arts that has lasted over 30 years. Crochet quickly became my creative obsession, and I find endless joy in bringing unique designs to life.

I have a deep love for making mandala blankets, afghans, and scarves with bold, eye-catching patterns. Lately, I’ve been diving into creating quirky amigurumi toys and whimsical home décor pieces—each one designed to add personality and charm to any space. Alongside crochet, I also enjoy experimenting with jewelry-making, and I’ll admit, I have a serious addiction to collecting crafting supplies—especially yarn!

Opening my online shop has been a dream come true. Cloud9CrochetShop is where my passion for handmade artistry meets my dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Every piece is carefully crafted by me, stitch by stitch, with love and attention to detail. Whether you're looking for a cozy scarf, a statement afghan, or a one-of-a-kind crochet creation, I’m honored to share my work with you.

Thank you for supporting my handmade journey—welcome to my world of crochet! ❤️
