Karen Medina did not arrive in Halifax planning to become a maker.
She came from Mexico as a researcher focused on food security and community well-being. But during her first Canadian winter, she picked up a crochet hook and rediscovered something her mother had taught her when she was ten years old.
What began as a way to fill long evenings became something much bigger — a creative practice, a connection to home, and eventually a business built stitch by stitch.
This is a story about migration, resilience, and the unexpected ways we find ourselves again in a new place.
Meet . The crocheter behind the craft. 🧶❤️
