I’m the owner & maker behind Made By Auntie Linz, a fiber-based gift shop providing cozy goods in the Southern Tier of New York. I run my business full-time as a pop-up vendor. As an avid crochet artist and crafter, my business was created out of my love for creating crochet pieces for my two nieces.

I have been crocheting for over 20 years and love the craft. My favorite aspect of my job is sharing smiles and laughs with people who love my products as much as I do! The connection crochet provides is warm and community-driven. I love meeting and creating for individuals who have a creative mind and spirit, and appreciate handmade skills.

My #1 goal is to provide my customers with products that make them feel great. I strive for that same feeling you get when you get a hug from your favorite person or eat your favorite food! I want to spread that positivity and warmth to others with my makes. Each one-of-a-kind handmade piece is crafted with love and attention to detail. My products are perfect for anyone trying to stay away from mass-produced goods. 

I'm creating a beautiful life and business with my husband, 2 daughters, and 6 fur babies at our home in Lowman, NY. In my downtime, I'll be gaming, binge-watching movies, and enjoying a hot matcha latte or oolong tea.
