I felt a tug at the heart to create art I felt was meaningful. The first time I used a crochet hook I fell in love instantly, but the ideas were coming to my head faster than my hook could ever crank out. I realized crochet was a tedious art but I also discovered that crochet is timeless. There’s no need to follow fast fashion trends here. I want to make pieces that highlight the slow fashion movement. I want to create sustainable, ethical fashion. I encourage others to remember that there is a human cost behind every piece of clothing. For crochet specifically, there is no machine that can replicate designs like these. Which honestly makes me feel very exclusive! *flips hair* I respect all artisans rejecting the principles of fast fashion and bringing awareness to an industry that could do better at paying livable wages and reducing wastes!
