Looking for a crochet hood? Crocheted by Kirby is a geek handmade business that is a success on Etsy. In this interview with Kirby, a geek crafter, she shares why Deadpool was her first geek crochet hood, her creative process, and how she's using live video on social media.
She also talks about why she decided to start a crochet business in the first place. Kirby is all about inclusivity, which is what inspired the LGBTQIA line of crochet hoods, gauntlets and F bombs. Yep, crocheted F bombs. Watch the interview then check out Kirby's Etsy shop. Links are below.
