Welcome to the Cozy World of Cat Cranston
Published Author, Yarn Enthusiast, and Storyteller at Heart
Hi, I’m Cat Cranston—a published author who believes in the magic of small things: tiny stitches, little characters, and everyday moments that carry big meaning. This is my creative home, where words and yarn intertwine to tell stories full of heart, humor, and a little bit of whimsy.
Right now, I’m bringing to life The BIG Adventures of Little Nola Red—a children’s book series about a pint-sized explorer with an outsizedsense of curiosity and courage. Think tiny paws, bold journeys, and big lessons wrapped in playful prose.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me with a crochet hook in hand, turning color and texture into blankets, creatures, and cozy creations. My crochet is my meditation, my joy, and sometimes even my storytelling tool.

As I like to say:
“Some adventures begin with a pen,
others with a skein of yarn.”
“Creativity is my love language—
and sometimes, it comes in soft loops.”
“Life is better when it’s handmade, heart-led, and just a little bit unraveled.”
So whether you’re here for Nola Red’s next big journey or to admire the latest crochet creation, welcome. I hope you stay a while, feel inspired, and maybe leave ready to start your own next little adventure.
