About the guest designer

Sue Perez is a native Californian happily transplanted to small-town Wisconsin. She was learned to crochet as a child from her sister. Though she drifted away from crochet in her 20s, she picked up the hook again in her 30s. In 2011, she started her blog, Mr. Micawber’s Recipe for Happiness, and soon found herself publishing free crochet patterns, many of which feature step-by-step photos, charts, and/or video tutorials. In 2012, she sold her first design to Interweave Crochet and was "flabbergasted" when it appeared on the magazine’s cover. Sue's patterns have appeared in Interweave Crochet and Love of Crochet, and she continues to offer free patterns on her blog.

Sue's favorite patterns often feature techniques that aren't always part of the standard crochet canon – Knotless Chains, Knotless Standing Stitches, Invisible Joins, and Limpets, for example – and she loves to invent (or unvent) custom techniques and stitches. Her crochet heroes are Vashti Braha, Doris Chan, and Deborah Atkinson of Snowcatcher (the guest designer in episode 11).

Sue also enjoys cycling, photographing trees and wildflowers, and chronicling the changing seasons on her blog. One day she hopes to complete a century ride (a 100-mile bike ride), and write a crochet-related book.
