CROCHET FOR DINNER

by Sophia Villiers

Crochet for Dinner? What is that, some kind of punishment MeeMaw threatens if you don’t do your chores? The opposite, actually. It's the revolution of granny-hobbies. The modernization of the classics. A step beyond the road that has been walked by countless before. A renaissance, if you will.

Meet Sophia, creator of Crochet for Dinner, a fiberart brand that takes a traditionally frumpy-sounding method of clothes making and turns it into something cute, modern, and for the girls (gender-neutrally, of course).

“I’ve been an artist all my life,” Sophia says. “I have spent quality time with lead and charcoal, then went on to passionately painting canvases, and finally landed on looping yarn over hooks day after day. I can’t seem to get tired of it, as I eventually do with all my other hobbies. I just love the freedom this medium gives me to make whatever I want.” 

Sophia taught herself to crochet just before the start of 2023, and since has made tens of shoulder shrugs, a few bikinis, an arm-full of bags (coming soon), a couple of hats, a wedding set for an old friend, and most recently, is spending her time making warmer-wear for the coming fall season.
