Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Winter Market on November 15, 2014 at The Fillmore Charlotte. We are really excited to welcome back STUDIO{1859}, here is Megan talking about how it all started and some sneak peaks of all the crochet lovelies she is bringing to the market:
STUDIO{1859} began in 2012 after encouragement from family and friends to begin selling the crochet accessories I had been making for others as gifts. Since first learning to crochet 10 years ago I haven’t been able to put down the yarn. I believe crocheting is becoming a lost art and I enjoy keeping it alive in more ways than just hats and scarves. In college I studied Textile Engineering and my day job is working in a chemistry lab but my lunch breaks and evenings are filled with crocheting. My shop is mainly filled with crochet goods for babies and toddlers all made in my home studio (aka 1859 – my house number). I have recently added a line of baskets, bowls and home decor crocheted with fabric yarn that is made from recycled textile manufacturing scraps. I have a passion for creating and love coming up with ways to incorporate yarn into everyday life because it shouldn’t be reserved just for winter!
