The Nina Collection

Nina Collection of free-form crochet purses, clutches, and pouches was named for Emilin's baby-word for snails and all things spiral. I like the idea of using very basic crochet stitches to create sophisticated and artistic, yet wearable and usable pieces. I wanted the Nina collection to stand in contrast to both the super-cute amigurumi style of crochet and the classic, granny-square-afghan style of crochet. I wanted the color, shape and texture to look polished and sculpted while retaining the softness and lightness of fine wool.
