Margo is joined by Louie, better known as Louie’s Loops, a self-taught crochet artist, designer, game creator, and founder of Club Crochet. For nearly 20 years, Louie has been turning his love of crochet into an ever-expanding creative world of amigurumi, tutorials, games, characters, and stories—all rooted in curiosity, play, and community.
Margo and Louie discuss:
- Following curiosity and asking “what if?” as a creative practice.
- Turning a self-taught crochet hobby into a career and creative business.
- Challenging the idea of crochet as simply a “craft” rather than an art form.
- Using play and experimentation to stay inspired and avoid burnout.
- Building community through tutorials, storytelling, and shared creativity.
- Expanding ideas beyond one medium into games, characters, animation, and more.
- Creativity and handmade art in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.
- Bringing 20 years of ideas together through Crochet Goomis and Battle Goomis.
