I first held a crochet hook in one of my Home Economics classes in secondary school. I found it fascinating to make small purses and wristbands with a hook and yarn. But there was something I didn't quite understand - the difference between crocheting and knitting. You can't blame me. It's easy to confuse one for the other.Now I know crocheting and knitting are both similar and distinct crafts. The former is done with a single crochet hook and the stitches are like knots. While the latter is done with two knitting needles and the stitches are loops.You are welcome. This week, among other things, we tell the story of a young Nigerian who has turned the seemingly basic craft of crocheting into a luxury business. Our writer, Suotunimi Orufa, had a chat with Omolade Kolade Mayowa, the architect building Nigeria's first luxury crochet brand. Enjoy.Adekunle AgbetiloyeStaff Writer, Ventures Africa
