the many wonders of crochet

crochet gets a bad rep, and we’re here to tell you, it just ain’t fair! there are many funky things one can do with crochet:

1. create a designer knock-off

2. make a hyperbolic plane

3. who needs voodoo dolls, when you can make a little depp-love for your very own

4. recreate your favorite video game characters: pacman, anyone?

6. or, check out this website, which is just plain FAB-YOUUU-LOUSSS, folks, and get a little inspiration

and that’s not even mentioning all of the beautiful, NORMAL things you can create with this wonderful fiber process. we have books like the happy hooker, and crochet me, with gorgeous crocheted garments and accessories.

so come on in, take a class, learn a new skill, crochet away this winter.
