Simply Crochet

Animal instincts

Jen Starbird is proof that whatever your passion in life, there’s bound to be a way to celebrate it using crochet. “Crochet is a means of sharing my love of the natural world with others,” says Jen. “My focus is on endangered creatures [and] unusual and less well-known fauna, as well as recently extinct and ancient animals. With crochet I can demonstrate to others the tremendous variety of creatures on the planet that are currently in our care.”

Jen came to crochet nearly 13 years ago, learning the craft mostly via YouTube and dedicated tutorial sites. Before toowhen Megan asked me to be a pattern tester for her, I jumped at the chance.”
