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!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Catching Up 02:59 Discussing Jane Crowfoot's New Book 06:05 Exploring Colour Theory and Beading 08:25 Unleashing Creativity with Cables and Mosaic Crochet 16:22 Jane Crowfoot's Journey as a Crochet Designer 32:03 Finding Inspiration 33:10 Exploring Creative Paths 36:06 Experiencing Different Levels of Inspiration 41:37 Flower or Glower - The Return48:49 Justin Bieber Wearing Jane's Design 54:28 Crochet in High Street Fashion 56:40 Changing Landscape of Content Consumption 01:06:32 The Importance of Self-Care 01:19:25 Expanding the Market with TranslationsYou can find Janie’s brilliant new book here:https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/jane-crowfoot/complete-crochet-handbook/9781800922419Don’t forget to subscribe to Craft Talkin’ and tell all your craft friends to do the same!
