Crochet Dude New Patterns
The Crochet Dude, otherwise known as Drew Emborsky, learned to crochet at age five. After studying fine art in college and doing the “starving artist” thing for years, he began crocheting for charity. During this time with the charity group, he became known as “The Crochet Dude”, which then led to the launch of his wildly popular blog, www.thecrochetdude.com. Since then, Drew has published numerous patterns in magazines and compilation books, and 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 Today.” Drew lives in Houston, Texas, with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra.
The Crochet Dude has been featured in national publications including BUST Magazine, Interweave Crochet, Knit.1, and Crochet Today!, as well as international newspapers like The Sunday Telegraph (in London).
He co-authored “Men Who Knit and the Dogs Who Love Them” and his latest book of crocheted men’s clothing designs is titled “The Crochet Dude’s Designs for Guys: 30 Projects Men Will Love” (Lark Books-2008).
Drew provides design support to: Tilli Tomas Luxury Yarns Caron International Lion Brand Coats & Clark South West Trading Co. Conjoined Creations
And he has been published in these magazines: Crochet Today! Crochet! Interweave Crochet Knit & Style
Perhaps you’ve caught him on these television shows: Uncommon Threads (HGTV-DIY) Knitty Gritty (HGTV-DIY) Needlearts Studio with Shay Pendray (PBS) Paint, Paper, & Crafts (PBS)
Breaking News! Drew, The Crochet Dude has been cast as a regular on the hit show Knit & Crochet Today as the “crochet expert”; watch for him in seasons 3 & 4 now on PBS!
