I was very surprised to find the Polish version of Crochet That Fits in my mailbox yesterday. I had no idea my publisher (F+W / Krause) was doing that. I'm just as intrigued as to why Polish. I looked crocheters from Poland up on the web and found lots of support for crochet in that country. In fact a famous crochet designer,
Agata Olek, is a native of Poland, living in New York City. You just have to see her work. It's wild! Scroll down to see more Polish crochet designs and designers.
Then I found a website on Lacemaking in Poland. You can see more beautiful work
here.
