Speaker Alyson Chu
Craft: General
Experience: Suitable for all
Summary: Join publisher and founder of Moorit, Alyson Chu, in a behind the scenes look at what goes into making a crochet magazine.
Description
Moorit is a crochet magazine like no other. Launched in 2021, it was imagined as an antidote to the death of print publications made especially for crocheters. With so many books already dedicated to the basics, blankets, home décor and amigurumi, Moorit instead focusses on wearable, modern garments and accessories made in natural fibres.
In this talk, Alyson will be giving a behind the scenes look at what goes into making Moorit: from developing mood boards, selecting designs and keeping on top of crochet trends.
