After being introduced – and re-introduced – to crochet by her mum, Jo Bunclark honed her skills and now runs her own crochet business, Marlow and Chestnut. Her children are her main inspiration and her designs reflect that – she’s a master designer of cute and quirky amigurumi stuffed animals, all worked in a muted and stylish colour palette. Jo has juggled a lot in the last few years, with the pandemic affecting her main source of income, but she’s remained determined to see this as a chance to live her dream of running a successful crochet business.
Jo’s crochet journey has been a long one. She recallsexplained it, I honestly couldn’t work it out!”
