Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude®, was taught to crochet at age five by his mother while snowbound in Lake Tahoe. After studying fine art in college and living as a “starving artist” for years, he found solace in crocheting for charity while grieving the passing of his mom. It was during this time with the charity group that Drew became known as The Crochet Dude, which then led to the launch of his wildly popular blog in 2005, The Crochet Dude. Since then, Drew has had published numerous patterns in magazines and compilations books, his own full-length books, has appeared as a guest on various TV programs, and is currently the crochet expert on the hit PBS show Knit and Crochet Now. And watch out, crochet has a new Boye®toy, as Drew has teamed up with Boye® brand hooks to launch his own line of kits, hooks, tools, and accessories, available now nationwide. Drew lives in Houston, TX with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra.
