Yvonne Cherry

Crochet, a family tradition. My grandmother whom we called Mema taught me how in the late 1960's and now I am teaching my grandchildren to crochet. I am a member of the New York City Crochet Guild, Crochet Guild of America and the Harlem Knitting Circle. I worked on the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project. I am the founder of the Brooklyn Crochet Connection, a fun, free, intergenerational program geared towards passing on the skills, gifts, talents, and abilities of our elders to our youth through crohet. We meet at the Walt Whitman Library in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
