The Crochet Answer Book – 2nd Edition is the latest book from Edie
Many years ago, Edie Eckman co-owned a yarn shop. No one told her that yarn shop owners don’t actually get time to crochet or knit, so after a few years she closed the shop and turned to designing and teaching. She considers herself fully bi-textural, and likes to serve as a Knit-Crochet Diplomat, easing the schism that can exist between the two disciplines. As a freelancer, she wears a number of different hats in the fiber arts world, including:
Writing books on knitting and crochet
Teaching at conventions, shops and guilds nationwide
Teaching online at Craftsy.com and Creativebug.com
Designing her own line of patterns
Designing for magazines and yarn companies
Editing fiber arts books
Serving as technical editor for knitting and crochet patterns
Serving as contributing editor to knitting and crochet magazines
Master Teacher for Craft Yarn Council Certified Instructors Program
