Needlework is the theme of the Winter 2023 issue of PieceWork Magazine. This issue includes several articles about crochet, including my own that looks at tapestry crochet stitch variations in Colombia, Guatemala, Finland, Israel, Türkiye, Cameroon, and Morocco.
I thought of titling it “Different Strokes for Different Folks” because there’s no right or wrong way to tapestry crochet. The choices are many: the type and number of yarns, loose or tight tension, slip or single or half or double crochet stitches, carry the color or run it along the back, insert the hook into one or more loops? These choices influence the imagery and determine whether the fabric will be stiff or supple. I hope you’ll be inspired.
