Nothing says more about a business than a client review, so here is one of her clients that purchased multiple Peacock hooks from Kelli. Look at how beautiful these hooks are!

I originally found Sick ‘Lil Monkeys through Facebook and my crochet addiction. I had been searching for some custom hooks and wanted to find a small business to buy from. From our initial conversations I knew I found the right place with Sick ‘Lil Monkeys!

I knew I wanted a hook that resembled one of my peacocks but I didn’t have anything specific in mind. I sent Kelli some pictures and we chatted a few times before she sent me a picture of the first design. It was absolutely perfect and so much more than I even imagined!

Kelli kept me updated on my hook and it arrived to me in absolutely perfect condition. After my first hook, I was..well, hooked!

I have since went back to purchase several more hooks because I was thrilled with the cost, quality and the extreme attention to detail in each one. I truly feel my work is better with her hooks and I’ve found renewed inspiration to create.

Each hook is unique and special and I can clearly see the love and attention put into each one. They are truly a work of art!” ~Jennifer Louden of Louden Farms

While she is a for profit business, she takes pride in her charity work and has affected many lives one at a time. This xmas, Sick ‘Lil Monkeys and her partner in charity, The Hookeraholic Crochet also has quite a few of their fans helping with select families’ holiday needs.
