Nonfiction

Crochet and Conquer combines stories about healing with creative crochet projects. Each poignant personal account is accompanied by its own matching motif and project.

Twenty-one brave women open their hearts and tell their poignant stories of battle and eventual victory. The stories cover loss, work stress, depression, illness, the death of a child, as well as emotional and physical abuse.

We have designed a motif for each of the women’s stories and used them to make personal and household items.
