In this talk Lydia Gluck of Pom Pom dives into the similarities and differences between knitting, crochet, and quilt making.

She will look at the structure of the fabrics that knitting and crochet create, and how we can use this knowledge to get the most out of them, from colour choice to fibre. Next bringing in patch-working as a craft that works with pre-made fabrics, she contrasts the processes as a way to find similarities and differences that can help us use each craft to its fullest potential, and as a canvas for colour in its unique way.

What unites these crafts and what can we take from one to apply to another? And what can we learn that we can use with all of them?
