“What’s really awesome about our evolving journey with crochet is as we look and think more deeply at our mahi and crochet itself, there is so much meaning we can assign to each element. And as Rudi comes up with new crochet designs he is thinking too about the deeper meaning. For example, for us, pom-poms represent an explosion of ideas, newness and potential. And when we use them for eyes in our mahi we feel each strand of the pompom represents the eyes of our Tūpuna looking back at us. Really fascinating journey we are on and we love to share that with our people”
