When I first "met" Joanne online, I knew we would be friends.  We share a vision: for a world without ugly crochet. I often joke that my ultimate goal is to become a benign dictator of a world where hideous, poorly made, poorly written patterns are outlawed.

And to that end (the ending ugly crochet part, not the setting me up as a dictator part), we have set up The Crochet Project, a new online collection of patterns with beautiful drape, gorgeous yarns and fair payment to the designers.

The website is now live and the collection will be ready in March. Head over the blog to read about Crochet and Drape, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
