This may be the year we all stayed in, but it hasn’t interrupted our adventures in crochet. Hooksters the world over have been crafting together online thanks to the wonders of technology. The internet has long been an incredible resource for makers, but recent restrictions have prompted all kinds of innovations. It’s now a more inclusive and inspiring space than ever. Here are a few of our favourite digital crochet happenings…
SOCIAL STITCHING
The team from local Devonshire yarn store Wool on the Exe were determined to support their regulars when in-person events became a no-go. “Community is our very reason for being,” staff member Ella told us. “We were devastated when we had to cancel our events, although we understood the importance of doing so. We knew we had to find ways to connect more online. One way was to host our Friday afternoon drop-in group as a Zoom meeting. We also set up Facebook groups linked to the shop page, as well as hosting virtual make-alongs.”
