What is Color Immersion Crochet?
Color Immersion Crocheting is a one-of-a-kind technique created by Connie Relyea—aka The Twisted Granny—a lifelong crochet artist with a passion for texture, color, and a touch of drama. This technique uses two or more shades of the same color and/or complementary colors to create a gorgeous tone-on-tone effect. Think rich layers of purple, teal, wine, green, royal or rose each shade blending beautifully into the next. Add in some eye-catching textured stitches, and you’ve got a blanket that’s not just cozy, but a true work of art. Color Immersion Crochet pieces are perfect for those lush, color-drenched spaces you’ve been dreaming about. Want to try it yourself? You’ll find all of our exclusive Color Immersion Crochet patterns at TGS.

The Story of The Twisted Granny
The Twisted Granny business is built on a lifetime love of crochet and creativity.
I learned to crochet when I was just nine years old, taught by my mother and grandmother, two women who passed down not only the skill but also a deep appreciation for handmade work. My earliest projects were delicate crochet doilies and Christening outfits for babies, made with fine #10 crochet thread.
When I first began crocheting, my family couldn’t afford yarn. Instead, I pulled threads from old clothing and used my fingers instead of a hook to create my first pieces. Even then, the spark was there.
Over the years, crochet became more than a hobby. It became a lifelong craft.
For the past 46 years, I have been working professionally in the crochet world, designing patterns and creating pieces of all kinds. Along the way I also explored many other creative outlets, including landscape painting and a variety of handmade crafts, but crochet has always been the art form closest to my heart.
In my late teens, I discovered another passion within the craft: pattern writing. What began as simple notes and instructions grew into a vast personal library of designs. Today, I have written more than 3,000 crochet patterns, each one developed through years of experience, experimentation, and love for the craft.
For me, crochet is not just about making something beautiful. It is about creativity, tradition, and sharing knowledge with others. Designing patterns brings me just as much joy as crocheting them, and through The Twisted Granny, I continue to share that passion with fellow makers around the world.
