    Craft Talkin' with Lauren Willis [CT004]

    Jamie and Merion meet the FABULOUS Lauren Willis, aka Manatee Squares, to chat about her new, gorgeous book, Filet Crochet to Wear, from David & Charles. Loz, as she’s known, chats about her love of crochet, maths and her beloved lurchers, Wally and Roxy, and how filet crochet became a favourite technique. This hilarious episode travels from Pokemon to dog grooming, via the trauma of making Instagram reels, taking photos of herself and her favourite colours - inclusive sizing, writing patterns, where to sell them and what has worked and what hasn’t. It’s a really illuminating chat if you love Lauren’s work, but also a great inspiration if you’re a crochet designer starting out! You won’t be surprised that Merion is even more of a superfan by the end…. You can find Lauren on her website, Manatee Squares and on instagram here.

    Craft Talkin' with Jane Crowfoot [CT003]

    In this jam packed episode, we talk to the legendary Janie Crowfoot about her brilliant new book, The Complete Crochet Handbook, and all about the techniques that she uses for her blankets and projects. This is a book aimed at intermediate crocheters, although it does contain the basics - it’s a great book for anyone who wants to improve their techniques, too! We talk about colour, design, the creative process, and the inspiration for Janie’s projects, crochet on the high street and favourite ice cream flavours - it’s a great chat! We couldn’t let her go without musing about Justin Bieber wearing one of her designs - and as an homage to the last time we had Janie on the LoveCrafts Show, Jamie wrote a new quiz, “Flower or Glower?” just to keep us on our toes!
