Due to lockdowns, people around the world took up crocheting during the Covid-19 pandemic. Handsewn masks were all the rage on craft platforms like Etsy. Ghib discovers that in Singapore, some young people have turned this simple hobby into a business and an artform.
Ghib meets Terrix and Angie, who run craft workshop Tiny Rabbit Hole as a couple. He learns that the craft of crochet is shedding its frumpy image as more young people get hooked on it. He also visits an exhibition by Kelly Limerick, a renowned crochet artist in Singapore, marveling at the works of art produced from just a few crochet hooks and balls of yarn.
As he works on creating a pouch for this grandma, Ghib begins to reconnect with own his family history, as his grandparents used to sell knitwear.
