Introduction: Who I Am
Hi, I’m Jess — the maker behind Ruthless Dynamics and Ruthless Crochet. I’m a mom of four boys, a designer, and a total yarn lover who turned a passion for crafting into a business that now supports makers all over the world. What started with learning crochet in November 2023 quickly grew into designing over 50+ patterns and inventing 3D-printed tools that solve real problems for crocheters and knitters.
I juggle my creative work with raising kids, running multiple small businesses, and finding joy in building things that make life easier for other makers like me. If you’ve ever tried to crochet with yarn rolling across the floor while the kids run wild — trust me, I get it. That’s why everything I design has one goal: to make your craft time smoother, simpler, and more fun.
