Welcome to the CraftSanity Podcast Episode 1
Tune in for a behind-the-scenes chat with Regina Rioux Gonzalez, 36, of Los Angeles, the creative force behind MonsterCrochet.com.
By day she works as an investment bank administrator, by night she's stitching away, creating an endless series of original pieces that include fiber likenesses of raw chickens, one-eyed produce, yarn members of the Vegetable Liberation Army, full-size skeletons and a variegated scorpion.
Regina has a bachelor's degree in art from California State University, Northridge and a master's degree in Fine Art from Claremont Graduate University. Learn how she became such a fearless fiber artist able to balance art with a day job, hear what she has to say about all those bloodshot eye balls she's stitched and how showcasing her work on the Internet has fueled her creativity. It's amazing what a woman can do with single crochet.

Regina was kind enough to share her eyeball pattern with us. Download the pdf here. The pattern will be featured in the 2007 Pattern-A-Day-Calendar, so look for that next year. Have a cool pattern you want to submit to the calendar, check out this site.
Here's a sampling of some of her other fantastic creations.
