I am Crochet artist in the US, and I took a week off from the internet last week, as I am bipolar and I have been battling the "dark" my self for some time now. I was absolutely heartbroken to hear of Wink's death. I'm pulling myself back into the light, but without her, the world won't shine as brightly as it did before.
Wink was an amazing talent. Her story of how crochet saved her touched me so deeply. I will remember her forever.
