Awesome podcast as usual, and Rohn’s book looks amazing. Love male designers! a7dk on rav.
As one who just learned to crochet not long ago – I have absolutely NO pattern books… so as you can see, it is a moral imperative that I start my crochet pattern book collection with this one.

Interesting interview with Rohn Strong. Great to hear about a new crochet designer. FYI, lots of reverb and echo noise in the background.
Thank you for pointing out the reverb… I think we fixed it halfway through when Rohn put on headphones :)
I’ll remember to ask guests to do that upfront in the future!
I would love to win this book Southern Crochet.
