Drew Emborsky

Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude®, was taught to crochet at age five by his mom while snowbound in Lake Tahoe. After studying fine art in college and doing the “starving artist” thing for years, he found solace in crocheting for charity while grieving the passing of his mom. It was during this time with the charity group that he became known as The Crochet Dude. Since then, Drew has published numerous patterns in magazines and compilation books, his own full-length books, appeared as a guest on various TV programs, and is currently the crochet expert on the hit PBS show “Knit and Crochet Today.” Drew lives in Houston, Texas with his cats Chandler and Cleocatra.
