We have talked before about the importance of having the proper tools when working on projects. Working for long periods of time can cause fatigue. Ergonomic wooded crochet hook handles are a great way to improve your crochet time and endurance. Ashley from Leither Co. joins me to talk about her special hooks.
Crochet is an amazing art. There are an infinite number of stich patterns to use and create when working on a design. Depending on the combination of stitches you use you will end up with a very different fabric. Choosing to be a designer means that you will always be learning new things to make your designs better. One of the ways to continue learning is through stitch dictionaries, and this one is like no other that I have seen.
My dear friend Salena Baca is back on the Yarn Thing podcast. We know that she is a wonderful designer and author but today we are going to talk about her crochet education program, the American Crochet Association.
