Robyn Chachula’s winding path to a crochet career began as a structural engineer with a specialty in historic preservation and renovation, which uses her ability to take big projects and break them into little items anyone can understand.
Her designs have been published in Interweave Crochet, Crochet Today!, and CrochetMe.com; as well as in books, including Not Your Mama’s Crochet, Catwalk Crochet, Vogue on the Go: Crocheted Shawls, Crochet Me, Son of Stitch & Bitch, and Sensual Crochet.
You can watch Robyn in action on Knit and Crochet Today on PBS where she is a regular guest. She can also be seen on Knitting Daily TV on PBS showing off some of her favorite designs. Her first crochet book, Blueprint Crochet: Modern Designs for the Visual Crocheter will be available from Interweave Press in Fall 2008; and her second, Mission Falls Goes Crochet, follows shortly also due out Fall 2008. You can see all of her architecturally inspired pieces at www.crochetbyfaye.com.
