Game it Out? Crochet Criminals?

 

Paul Chan and His Mom Crochet Criminals Together 

“We’ve been doing it like this since,” Chan explained.  He comes up with a sketch of an infamous figure he thinks would make an interesting subject, and then the two of them chat on the phone (or “game it out,” in Chan’s words).  Sometimes his mom thinks the shape of the figure should change, or else she just wants a challenge, “like knitting high heels.”  They settle on colors.  When she’s done, she mails the approximately 9–to-14-inch figures to him from her home in Los Angeles and Chan adds the finishing touches: a face, hats, eyewear, prison ankle bracelets.
