Shauna Richardson: CROCHETDERMY
In traditional crochet, you have to carefully count your stitches to get the right shape; in freeform crochet, you can put any stitches anywhere.This is the aforementioned Olympic crochet project. It includes three giant lions crocheted by hand and showcased in a taxidermy style case. The lions are made using a locally-sourced wool to celebrate the rich textile history of the area.
