Dave the Nerd is a crochet/knit artist with over 20 years experience. Coming from a long line of fiber artists, he continues his family's skillful talents. Having been taught the basic stitches in crochet, within a week he was modifying patterns. After doing that he started reaching books on how to knit. And he picked up knitting shortly there after. Are his techniques traditionally correct...probably not. But does he get the work done...that he does.
