Hosted by ReRe of the Yarn Over Hook Network, each episode unravels fascinating threads—from folklore and fiber science to fairs, community and culture, and the future of handmade craft. It’s part history lesson, part maker’s circle, and all heart—celebrating crochet as both a creative act and a living tradition.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-11T08:17:39.882241+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/exploration-crochet-7471723"},"episode":{"title":"Hi, I'm ReRe and I'm a Crocheter | S2 Ep1","slug":"hi-i-m-rere-and-i-m-a-crocheter-s2-ep1","published_at":"2026-01-09T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/exploration-crochet-7471723/hi-i-m-rere-and-i-m-a-crocheter-s2-ep1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/exploration-crochet-7471723","url":"https://exploration-crochet.captivate.fm/episode/hi-im-rere-and-im-a-crocheter-s2-ep-1","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/1de8db9a-eba9-47c2-8028-6acc2b26fbed.mp3","summary":"In the Season 2 premiere of Exploration Crochet , ReRe officially introduces herself with a crochet creator Q&A inspired by Rachel from The Faded Wildflower Crochet YouTube channel. ReRe shares how she learned to crochet at 8 or 9 years old—three stitches, one spirally hair tie, and a lifelong love of making. You’ll hear why ReRe refuses to pick a single “favorite thing” to crochet (because the answer is basically… yes), what yarn she’d choose if “forever” means a zombie-apocalypse-level forever, and the one project she can’t see herself ever starting, let alone finishing. ReRe also talks about where her inspiration really comes from—history, math, science, stories, events, pop culture, and especially the 5 W’s. She shares a favorite recent make as well as her thoughts on the best and worst things about crochet - they are the same. Plus, an important community call: the Yarn Over Hook Network is building The Colossal Crochet Yarn Crawl of 2026, and ReRe is collecting crochet-friendly local yarn shops nationwide for a future, passport-style event complete with patterns, goodies, and yarn joy—because crocheters belong everywhere.
