Crochet Designer Margaret Hubert

Today on the Yarnthing Podcast with Marly Bird: the talented crochet designer, Margaret Hubert!

Listen in below to hear Marly and Margaret talk about how Margaret got started, her journey through the yarn world, publishing, and social media.

Marly Margaret and crochet dudeMargaret Hubert is another bicraftual woman and encourages everyone to be as well.ย  She learned to knit from her mother, but learned to crochet out of necessity.ย  A sweater she made hadn’t worked out quite as it should have and the shop owner who she went to for help said we can just fix it with crochet.ย  She learned for that sweater and hasn’t looked back since.ย  Margaret Hubert has been in the yarn industry is some way or another since the 70’s.ย  She and friend owned a yarn shop for a while when Margaret’s kids were little.ย  After the yarn shop, she worked for Bloomingdales and then started publishing books.ย  Her first books included One-Piece Knits that Fit: How to Knit and Crochet One-Piece Garments that Fit, Weekend Knitting Projects, and Weekend Crochet Projects.ย  She had a bit of break in publishing and started back up again in 2006 with her Hooked series.ย  Her most recent books include one that was rejected 10 years ago (persistence pays!), The Granny Square Book: Timeless Techniques and Fresh Ideas for Crocheting Square by Square.ย  You can see all her most recent work with Quayside here. Check it out, there is something for everyone!

You can find Margaret Hubert on: her website MargaretHubertOriginals.com, her blog My Hooks and Needles, Ravelry, Facebook, and Twitter.

    What a lovely podcast with Margaret Hubert. This has inspired me to pick up my crochet hook again and start crocheting. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face just listening to all her great responses about social media and her career. I will have to check out her books right now!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. I was lucky enough to meet Margaret at Chain Link a couple years ago and even sit and crochet with her and Prudence Mapstone in the lounge. That memory makes me smile. Please have Margaret on again so you can ask all the questions you didn’t have time for.
