Meeting The Crochet Dude, Drew Emborsky, has been one of the best highlights of my professional career as Mikey from The Crochet Crowd. I might be like you where when you see a celebrity you freak out and say the dumbest things. You realize you are tripping and then you bury yourself further to make yourself like a lunatic. Now that I painted that real image of what I was like, you can imagine poor Drew putting up with me.
Despite my initial introduction of being all nuts and crazy, Drew really took it in stride and was so kind. I have met other celebrities who stink of attitude but Drew was so polite, genuine and a guy that I would love to have in a crochet circle. The video that is attached below is Drew and I speaking for the first time about crochet. Though we had met earlier in the day, we left the crochet talk for this interview so that the conversation was new information being shared between each other.
The highlight of this video is that him and I are just talking about the love of our chosen career paths. We are both celebrities in our own realm and come at crochet from a different vantage point. This video, which I must admit was a pure accident… but genius move, truly is a real conversation between crochet artists. Watching this video is like ease dropping behind the scenes of the Crochet world from a teaching point of view.
To keep this video genuine, I barely clipped anything out because we were catching him signing autographs for his brand new book called Use Up That Yarn! being published by Lesiure Arts. Look for it on Amazon or your near pattern book retailer.

I have a question: I am working on a baby cardigan and I didn’t mark the right side, how can I tell which is the RS and RS? Is the raised side the right side? Is there a way to tell if it’s not marked?
I am working on the Drops Design of “Little Lady Rose”
Also, being left handed I am having difficulty knowing which direction to add the collar, cuffs and edgings.
Do I do it in mirror image and go in the opposite direction of the pattern? I’m confused how to go about this. I’m at the point where I need to go up the seams on the sleeves, so I need to know which is the right side. I could really use your help. Thank you! Linda
