Who/what got you into crochet?
"I learned to crochet when I was a kid. Six years ago I picked it back up, just before I got back into knitting. We wanted to do crafts in Bust magazine, and needlework wasn't getting respect. As a feminist associated with a women's magazine, I wanted to make that better. I crocheted a headscarf as a test, and it was a gateway craft. It turned into a full-fledged addiction." [more]
