"My goal is to bring crochet
Back to the Future. I grabbed inspiration from rock music, '80s hip hop, and Native and African crafts, then blended those with classic styles and futuristic funk! Vibrant colors, simple stitches, and easy-to-follow patterns, illustrations and instructional photos offer something for every skill level."
