Jacki Donhou is a Las Vegas, Nevada native who learned to crochet after moving to Washington State and becoming a stay-at-home mum. After a few years of following other people's designs, she decided to try creating her own inspired by her love of animals, the memories of her kids and how they loved their favourite toys growing up. Since then, she has developed a loyal social media following as people have fallen in love with her unique and fun amigurumi designs. Fueled by coffee, giggles and a strange addiction to colourful yarn, Jacki is always looking for new ways to make people smile. She is the author of Crocheted Mythical Creatures, Crochet Kawaii Pets, Yarn Cake Amigurumi and co-author of Crochet Christmas, all published by GMC Publications.
