Award for Excellence in Textiles 

100% merino wool; Interlocking crochet 

180 x 135 cm 

You’ve heard of book worms, but I prefer the imagery of book dragons! A dragon hoards books - no munching or destruction of the treasure! Dragons may breathe fire, but they'd never burn a book! Interlocking crochet is a technique where two layers of mesh are crocheted one row at a time. Each double crochet stitch goes in front or behind the other layer to either hide or show the previous row’s stitches. One layer was done using all dark blue yarn and the other layer has a fiery gradient. - Ashlee Brotzell, artist
