About Us
Needle Little Love began with a simple mission: to bring comfort and warmth to patients in hospitals through handmade care. Based in Boston, the organization understands how cold the winters can be and saw an opportunity to offer something both practical and heartfelt. What started as one person creating small acts of kindness grew into a community-focused effort centered on creativity, compassion, and human connection.
Needle Little Love believes that even a simple crocheted hat can make a hospital stay feel a little less lonely. Each piece is made with intention and the hope that it brings comfort to someone facing a difficult moment. We value meaningful impact over mass production and take pride in offering items that are truly handmade with love.

I’m a passionate artist who started with sketchbooks and slowly grew into trying every creative thing I could get my hands on. From drawing to crocheting hats for my family, making art has always been my favorite way to show love. I enjoy seeing something I created become the reason someone smiles or feels a little brighter. Art has become a big part of who I am, and it keeps inspiring me to try new things and share what I make.
