Learning to Crochet for Beginners: Overcoming the Fear of the First Chain | S2 Ep18 from Exploration Crochet Jul 10, 2026 24 min
In this episode of Exploration Crochet , ReRe explores the fear of the first chain and why many beginner crocheters feel anxious before they ever pick up a hook. Through humor, research, and Roman’s Skinny Scarf™ story, the episode looks at fear of failure, perfectionism, avoidance, cognitive load, and the emotional pressure of learning something new. ReRe explains why beginner crochet mistakes are not proof of failure but useful data that helps makers understand tension, stitch count, and technique. The episode also celebrates frogging as a normal part of the creative process and encourages beginners to start small, practice for five minutes, and let the first project be ugly. Ultimately, this episode reminds listeners that crochet does not require perfection, natural talent, or total confidence — only the courage to begin. 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES Tip ReRe a Tea ☕ | https://ko-fi.com/explorationcrochet Help support the research, storytelling, and yarn-filled adventures behind Exploration Crochet.

Crochet Symbols Decoded: The Not-So-Universal Language of Crochet Charts | S2 Ep16 from Exploration Crochet Jun 4, 2026 20 min
In this episode of Exploration Crochet , ReRe decodes the world of crochet symbols and crochet charts , exploring why international crochet symbols are helpful but not always universal. Inspired by a German crochet pattern question, the episode explains how charts help crocheters move beyond written language and bridge differences in crochet terminology. Listeners will learn how common crochet chart symbols work and how Japanese crochet charts helped influence global chart literacy. The episode also explains why special stitches, amigurumi shorthand, designer preferences, and regional notation make the pattern key essential. Whether you are new to reading crochet charts or already chart-literate, this episode shows why crochet symbols are a shared visual language, and while they may not be universal law, they are a powerful visual tool that helps patterns travel across borders. 🔗 Links & Resources Mentioned | Tip ReRe a Tea ☕ | https://ko-fi.com/explorationcrochet Help support the research, storytelling, and yarn-filled adventures behind Exploration Crochet.

Crochet’s Long History of Being Problematic — to Somebody | S2 Ep15 from Exploration Crochet May 21, 2026 19 min
In this episode of Exploration Crochet , ReRe explores why crochet has historically been viewed as controversial, overly decorative, too feminine, too homemade, and even “hostile to feet.” Comparing crochet to knitting across multiple historical eras, the episode examines how knitting was often associated with practicality and utility while crochet became entangled in debates about labor, class, domesticity, art, and taste. Topics include Irish crochet lace during the Great Famine, Victorian decorative culture, industrialization, gender expectations, modern fiber art, and online crochet discourse. ReRe also examines how crochet continues to face assumptions about acrylic yarn use, granny squares, crochet garments, and crochet socks in both yarn shops and internet culture. Ultimately, the episode argues that crochet itself was rarely the true controversy — crochet simply became a visible site where larger social anxieties played out. This week we’re exploring why crochet has spent so long being ‘problematic’ — to somebody. 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES Tip ReRe a Tea ☕ | https://ko-fi.com/explorationcrochet Help support the research, storytelling, and yarn-filled adventures behind Exploration Crochet.

Yarn Bombing: From Door Handle to Wall Street and Everywhere in Between | S2Ep14 from Exploration Crochet Apr 9, 2026 14 min
Yarn Bombing is a global fiber art movement that transforms public spaces through knitted and crocheted installations. While the term emerged in 2005 with Magda Sayeg and Knitta Please, the act itself predates the name, with earlier artists using fiber in public and environmental contexts. Over time, yarn bombing evolved from small “micro-tagging” interventions to large-scale installations, including iconic works like the Wall Street Bull and international community projects. Artists like Lauren O’Farrell expanded the practice into narrative storytelling, while Stephen Duneier brought it into wilderness spaces through temporary, permitted installations. Today, yarn bombing continues to function as art, protest, and public expression—demonstrating the power of fiber to reshape how we see the world.

The Great Crochet Stitch Debate: The Council of Brussels | S2Ep13 (4126 Edition) from Exploration Crochet Apr 1, 2026 11 min
Did crochet almost get standardized in 1911? Discover the “Council of Brussels” and why U.S. vs U.K. stitch terms split and confuse crocheters to this day. In this episode of Exploration Crochet , we dive into the forgotten story of a 1911 international effort to standardize crochet terminology. Known as the Council of Brussels, this gathering of pattern writers, teachers, and textile thinkers set out to unify how crochet stitches were named across countries. But what started as a push for clarity quickly unraveled into debate—specifically over one deceptively simple question: should a stitch be named for how it looks… or how it’s made?

From Bones to Burls: The Crochet Hook Chronicles from Exploration Crochet Feb 19, 2026 16 min
It’s never "just a hook." In this episode, we dive deep into the material science and global chaos of the crochet hook’s evolution. We explore how a simple notched stick transformed into a $500 luxury item. Crochet hooks are design history in your hand, shaped by materials science, industrial manufacturing, and maker culture. In this episode of Exploration Crochet , ReRe traces hook evolution to innovations that solved the “spinning” problem and you’ll hear how hook sizing became a global comedy routine - with millimeters becoming the most reliable modern anchor. The story then jumps to the early 20th century, when crochet shifted from lace to garments and aluminum became the lightweight “space-age” hook material for bigger yarns. Rounding out the episode, we'll take a look at WWII “blackout” hooks, modern ergonomic grips, and today’s luxury hook culture.

Mosaic Crochet: Making Simple Look Stunning | S2 Ep6 from Exploration Crochet Feb 12, 2026 14 min
Mosaic crochet is one of modern crochet’s most "how-is-that-possible" looks. Mosaic is a bold, graphic colorwork technique that seems impossibly complex, yet is built on a simple rule: one color per row. In this episode of Exploration Crochet, ReRe traces mosaic’s story from 1970s mosaic knitting into crochet’s evolving toolkit. We’ll highlight the contributions of crochet legend Lily Chin and modern designer Tinna Thórudóttir Thorvaldar. You’ll learn how it moved from experimentation to published instruction, then exploded in popularity through charts, tutorials, and crochet-alongs in the 2010s. We’ll break down the two main types—Inset mosaic (often lighter with fewer ends) and Overlay mosaic (crisp, structured, and famously end-heavy). And lastly, explore why these methods are the ultimate high-payoff project for the modern maker.

George Washington Carver - Crocheter: The "Black Leonardo" | S2 Ep5 from Exploration Crochet Feb 5, 2026 16 min
Discover the hidden history of George Washington Carver’s life as a prolific fiber artist and crocheter. While famous for his agricultural breakthroughs at Tuskegee University, Carver was a master of domestic arts who dyed his own threads using local Alabama clay and plant life. This episode of Exploration Crochet explores how his artistic training at Simpson College informed his world-renowned scientific career. We examine archival evidence, including rare 1937 footage of Carver crocheting, to reveal a man whose curiosity had no boundaries. Join ReRe to see why TIME magazine dubbed Carver the "Black Leonardo". Edgar A Guest – Equipment excerpt – “Courage must come from the soul within The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad You were born with all that the great have had.

Crochet People pt 1: Mlle. Eleonore Riego de la Branchardière | S2 Ep4 from Exploration Crochet Jan 29, 2026 27 min
In this kickoff episode of Crochet: A Chain of Events — The People , ReRe introduces the Victorian-era publisher and pattern powerhouse Mlle. Eleonore Riego de la Branchardière , one of the earliest figures to make crochet reproducible at scale. We explore how crochet spread globally not just because it was clever, but because it became standardized, teachable, publishable, and commercially distributed. We look at how Riego treated patterns as professional intellectual property, protecting her works through mechanisms like Stationers’ Hall registration and “right of translation” notices. We unpack her public-facing brand—from Great Exhibition prestige and “registered designs” to royal appointment marketing, and explore her creative range from raised floral “rose” motifs to geometric star designs and “tricot” (early Tunisian/afghan-style) warmth for winter wear, and finally how she marketed "imitation lace" to democratize luxury for the middle class. We will ground the story in historical truth: the deepest roots of crochet belong to innovators who were anonymous, mostly working-class women sharing knowledge across generations. Named figures like Riego rise in the record because their work was printed, preserved, and funded—so this episode holds both truths at once: crochet is collective intelligence, and Riego helped make that intelligence portable.

Crochet Adjustable: The Evolution of Starting pt.2 | S2 Ep3 from Exploration Crochet Jan 22, 2026 20 min
In Exploration Crochet S2 Ep3, ReRe explores the technical and cultural history of the adjustable ring , also known as the magic ring or magic circle . This episode explains what the technique truly is—a starting method built from a controlled slip-loop foundation—and why it likely emerged organically rather than being invented by one person. ReRe traces the method from Japanese chart culture (including the わ / wa ring symbol) through the amigurumi boom, where eliminating the center gap solved the “stuffing leak” problem in cute crochet toys. You’ll hear how YouTube, Ravelry, and early internet crafting helped the technique go global, and why the West rebranded it “magic” around 2008—because naming drives adoption. We explore why the "Thread Era" favored chain starts and how modern worsted yarns made the magic circle a global game-changer. ReRe also covers common magic ring mistakes, the rule for durability (it’s not a knot— weave the tail securely ), the double magic ring, and when a classic chain ring still wins.

Crochet Unchained: The Evolution of Starting | S2 Ep2 from Exploration Crochet Jan 15, 2026 17 min
In this episode of Exploration Crochet , ReRe kicks off a new deep-dive series on crochet innovations by tackling the craft’s most universal—and frustrating—beginning. We’ll explore the "Achilles' Heel" of crochet: the starting chain. This episode of Exploration Crochet traces the evolution of the starting chain and the rise of chainless foundation stitches like FSC and FDC. Host ReRe explores why the starting chain "won" the historical format war and why it took over 150 years to find a better alternative. We highlight the work of technical maverick Bill Elmore and designer Doris Chan, who fought editorial resistance to modernize pattern publishing. Learn why the transition to foundation stitches revolutionized garment making and how you can use 200 years of technical development in your next project…without “canceling” the classic chain. So, let’s dive into Crochet Unchained: The Evolution of Starting.

Hi, I'm ReRe and I'm a Crocheter | S2 Ep1 from Exploration Crochet Jan 9, 2026 14 min
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.
