They quickly discovered that they were both crochet designers, but almost better than that was the fact that they got on like a house on fire. Jane now lives in Scotland, but visits often! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Howorth\u003c\/b\u003e has been designing in knit and crochet since 2012 and her designs are extensively published in the UK and US. Her work has appeared in many magazines including \u003ci\u003eInterweave Knitting\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKnit.Wear\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInside Crochet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrochet Now\u003c\/i\u003e, etc. In particular, her ideas have been enthusiastically commissioned by \u003ci\u003eInterweave Crochet\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and she has one or two designs featured in almost every issue since 2017. Jane's latest designs are for Knitpicks' new venture, \u003ci\u003eWeCrochet\u003c\/i\u003e, and a new ezine from Interweave; \u003ci\u003eThe Crochetist\u003c\/i\u003e. She focuses on creating garments and accessories with a strong sense of style and a contemporary feel, and has around 90 third-party published designs, which can be seen on Ravelry. With a background as a Senior Lecturer in a university business school, she understands how to convey knowledge and understanding clearly. Jane also holds City and Guilds advanced certificates in Fashion Design. She uses this knowledge in her design work and in writing technical articles for a number of magazines, including \u003ci\u003ePompom\u003c\/i\u003e and Interweave's \u003ci\u003eKnit.Wear\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. She has taught numerous knit and crochet classes at local yarn shops.\u003cbr\u003eA university graduate, \u003cb\u003eDawn Curran\u003c\/b\u003e went on to pursue a demanding career in nursing before raising her family. Her journey into crochet design began when she worked for LoveCrafts as part of their customer service team. Here Dawn developed an understanding of the crochet market and saw an opportunity to develop her own designs. Her ideas often feature colour work, and she has carved out a niche for herself using intarsia crochet to create motifs. She designs crochet homewares, garments and accessories. Dawn sells her patterns on various platforms including Etsy.
