This is for anyone who uses a crochet hook (i.e. A Hooker.) We are yarn enthusiasts, Bros and people who love to challenge stereotypes and get crafty. We love colors, RAINBOWS, fashion, and polka dots!
While crocheting out in the world is fun, it is important to be prepared. Have all of your supplies, and also to pay attention to your own safety. Some people may think that you are weird (or knitting.) Being weird and knitting are ok. Think of it as a learning moment to educate the public. They are probably ready to learn about and be seduced by the allure of Crochet in all its whimsy and glory. If someone says, I only like poetry for guys, Brochet can be their gateway into crafts!!

This TEDTalk is from Textile artist Magda Sayeg, who transforms urban landscapes into her own playground by decorating everyday objects with colorful knit and crochet works. These warm, fuzzy "yarn bombs" started small, with stop sign poles and fire hydrants in Sayeg's hometown, but soon people found a connection to the craft and spread it across the world. "We all live in this fast-paced, digital world, but we still crave and desire something that's relatable," Sayeg says. "Hidden power can be found in the most unassuming places, and we all possess skills that are just waiting to be discovered."
