About the Artist:
Legin first learned to crochet from a rastaman in Trinidad 25+ years ago so he could make hats for himself, which he later turned into a business. Legin Knits, a company that specializes in crochet, creates one of a kind, handcrafted items through fashion and art for people and places.
He has expanded his artistry over the years to include silk screen printing, drawing, graphic design, sewing, tufting and punch needle. His commitment to encouraging others to be the source of their own creativity and use it in their daily lives, has evolved into a passion for teaching meditative workshops.
