Twinkie Chan - a True Pop Star!

Wow, wow,wow!  I love colour, I love crochet, I love contemporary culture, I love fun design, I love scarves, I love food, so you can imagine how delighted I was to discover the colourful world of Ms Chan, whose work happens to collide with all of these! If you like fun then check out her creations, if you don't do cheerful, don't bother! Thank-you Ms Chan for making the world a more colourful and enjoyable place to be in with your turkey leg scarves and popcorn gloves! check out her brilliant website at:












Howie Who? - Howie Woo, that's who!




Welcome to the playful and surreal world of Howie Woo, where art and life are inseparable! I've been checking out his blog: http://www.woowork.blogspot.com, and have come to the conclusion that he sounds like one of the nicest human beings on the planet. He creates crochet accompinements to his life experiences, including some very touching memorials to his father as well as fun little friends.


Howie and Woomi enjoy a movie together!

Watch out - Crochet's taking over the world, if Agata Olek has anything to do with it!

Born in Poland, but later moving to America after university, Olek is an artist who has taken working with wool to a whole new level. This is a lady who uses crochet to create installations and sculptures that allow her to transform the world through colour and pattern. Read all about her and her artist's statement, as well as see her work at;
