About

Welcome to Knotted Joy by Victoria — a space where creativity meets culture, and every handmade piece is a celebration of self-expression and joy.

I’m Victoria Joy, the artist behind each pattern and accessory you’ll find here. Creativity has been woven into my life since childhood. Growing up in the vibrant, colorful streets of Brooklyn, NY, I was surrounded by endless inspiration.

My parents nurtured that creative spark — my father could build and transform raw materials into something beautiful, while my mother captured life’s most meaningful moments through her photography. Their talents became the foundation for my own artistic journey.

My love for yarn began as a teenager, learning to crochet on the “A” train in Brooklyn with my oldest sister, April. She introduced me to the intricate world of art and music, showing me how creativity connects us all. Crochet quickly became my form of expression — a way to create something beautiful with my hands and my heart.

After my mother’s passing, I lost that creative spark for a while. Picking up yarn again became my way back — a way to heal, to honor her, and to reconnect with joy. Every color of yarn reminds me of her brightness, beauty, and unshakable spirit.

What began as a creative outlet has grown into a collection of modern crochet patterns, wall décor, and accessories that radiate warmth, color, and self-expression.

Knotted Joy is dedicated to my mom — she always believed in what my hands could create.

When you purchase from Knotted Joy, my hope is that you feel capable, beautiful, and inspired — and that each creation brings a spark of joy into your life, just as making them brings joy into mine.
