Quotable

Submitted by Kim Werker on 9 October 2005 - 4:34am. Categorized As:

I was pretty stoked back in July to have been contacted by a fabulous crafts columnist about an article she was writing about crochet. The article just came out (yay for crochet!), and I'm pretty googly-eyed to be quoted along with Lily Chin and Debbie Stoller. Actually, I'm totally floored.

I'm also really amused by the one quote she included (scroll all the way to the end). And I stand by it. Granny squares are great. But to really get the crochet ball rolling, let's make up some new classics, shall we? Are you game?

Awesome! Great job, Kim. I agree with you on the GS.

Great that the article wraps up with your comment, huh? And I totally agree. It's about time somebody said it.In appreciation I give to you "Crochet is..." according to Googlism: http://www.googlism.com/index.htm?ism=crochet&type=2
