Join us for reflections on the Knit & Crochet Show — get a taste of all the excitement of being around hundreds of knitters and crocheters right from your own home (or wherever you listen to YarnCraft) — as well as designer interviews, in which we ask where they get their inspiration.
On today’s episode, we’re joined by popular blogger and the Crochet Dude, Drew Emborsky (who last graced us in episode 21), and we also talk to local NYC designer Michaela Drapes, who is one half of the menswear duo Kindling and Tinder.
Patterns discussed include:
- Flip Flops
- Cascading Colors Baby Blankie (referred to as “Glorious Colors Baby Blankie”)
- Cumulus Cloths
- Delightful Tweed Baby Blanket

Hi Ladies! I do so enjoy listening to the podcasts. The project I’m looking forward to tackling this fall is On-the-Go Cardi featured in Lion Brand’s For you and your home book. I’m making it using silver blue. Can’t wait!!!

I enjoy the interview with “the crochet dude”. Now I’m inspired to start designing my own crochet tote bags. I’m also glad to have the, “stash this” segment back, I missed it. Have a great day ladies.

The show was great. She finished the hat for her Mother. She might give it to her for her birthday in November or give it to her now. Originally was suppose to be made and given for Mothers’ Day.
