WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
Hi! I’m Sophia and I’m the maker behind Cozy Purl. I’m based in Augusta and I crochet plushies, hats, and cozy accessories that are perfect for gifting or treating yourself.
DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I crochet each piece by hand, paying close attention to the details to make sure it turns out just right. My plushies are made with high quality, soft, blanket yarn, safety eyes, and stuffed with fiber fill. My hats are made with high quality acrylic yarn.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I’m inspired by comfort, color, and fun—things that make people feel good and bring a little joy to everyday life.
FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
My mom taught me how to crochet when I was a kid, but I’ve been self-taught ever since. Now I’m the one teaching her new tricks!
FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
I love the community and how welcoming and supportive everyone is.
WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
Creating is my way of spreading a little warmth and joy. I love the idea that something I made by hand can brighten someone’s day.
WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
Keep showing up and creating what you love. There’s someone out there who needs exactly what you make.
You can shop my plushies and hats online too, and I’m always open to custom orders. https://cozypurlcreations.etsy.com/
