It’s official! @rohnstrong is joining our team. Stay tuned for more updates 🌸🌹💞🌸🌹💞 #Repost @rohnstrong

In 2017 I met the amazing @oleknyc when @loveacrosstheusa came to Raleigh. I didn't know just how important that time would be. Our team of amazing crocheters from Raleigh created a banner honoring the life of Nina Simone. It was serendipitous.⠀
⠀
Now, almost two years later I'm honored to be joining the @loveacrosstheusa team. I’ll be traveling around, teaching, crocheting...all while celebrating women, art, and diversity.⠀
⠀
I'm excited about what the future holds and can't wait to start this journey. Don't worry, I'll take y'all along the way with me and hopefully, we'll be coming to a city near you soon! ⠀

Did you know this mural is actually crochet? Look closer at Here Comes The Sun - International crochet artist #olek brought the community public art project #loveacrosstheusa to #raleighnc where over 100 participants each completed a 2 foot by 2 foot crocheted section of the mural. Olek stitched the pieces together to complete this 40’ wide & 20’ high crochet mural, all made from #redheartyarn . @redheartyarns

#Philadelphia - YOU DID IT 💜 Mural number 5 in our #loveacrosstheusa journey is up and we couldn’t be happier 💜 During the last three months, 100 crocheters contributed the 140 squares that went into this beautiful tribute to Philadelphia‘s own Marian Anderson 💜 Thank you to all that made it happen - the love, excitement and dedication here in Philly shows in every stitch.
