Linda Urbanneck was born into an extremely creative family, but she didn't develop her passion for crochet until 2019 when she saw a video on amigurumi. Little by little she taught herself to crochet, initially as a hobby, but over time this passion moved increasingly in a profession. Linda created her first own pattern in 2020, and subsequently established her own label under the name 'Haekellobby'.

When she's not busy with her wool stash and crochet hooks, Linda enjoys family life with her husband and three sons in southern Germany. Linda provides hints and tips every day on her Instagram profile @haekel_lobby, where she also gives insights into her life as a designer and author.
