Shannon & Jason
Shannon Leigh Roudhán and Jason Bowlsby are the dynamic DIY duo from Seattle, Washington. Their award-winning crochet, knit, quilting, and sewing designs have been featured in and on the covers of domestic and international publications and their craft, portrait, and fashion photography has appeared in books and magazines around the globe. Shannon & Jason have published 10 books of crochet and knitwear patterns including Complete Crochet Course – the Ultimate Reference Guide, Designer Crochet, and Crochet Geometry. Their latest book is titled Boro & Sashiko: Harmonious Imperfection from C&T Publishing.
The duo have been embracing the creative chaos as partners in life for 27 years and have been teaching adults for 20+ years. With their mastery of subjects from crochet and knitting to photography, spinning, sewing, and quilting, their enthusiasm, quirky sense of humor, and relatable teaching style have made them sought after teachers in both local and national venues such as Sew Expo, Houston Quilt Festival, Pacific International Quilt Festival, and the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN). They also have a wide range of online classes available from Craftsy and Creative Spark Online. The “edu-tainment” experience of a class with Shannon & Jason will leave you informed, empowered, and in stitches (see what we did there?).
Shannon and Jason are proud ambassadors for Aurifil, Clover, BERNINA, Horn of America, and the Daylight Company.

More About Us…
In 2008, the idea of starting our own business was born of the desire to work for ourselves and the need to build a company around something we were good at and loved to do. It was a tall order, but it turned out that the things we were good at: cooking, fashion design, sewing, crochet, knitting, hand stitching, quilting, photography, graphic design, and a whole lot more... were the things we loved doing and all those elements worked perfectly together. We brought these talents into a niche that was being left void in the industry and made a name for ourselves filling it with panache and flair. We've been having fun and embracing the creative chaos ever since.
