Nour Abdallah is a Berlin-based illustrator and designer who loves toys and refuses to grow up. Having her children look at her work and enjoy the visuals is what motivates her most! She met Grannys Crochet Hook on the Instagram crochet society and they naturally started working together, with Nour dreaming up and drawing all of the characters that Grannys Crochet Hook turns into dolls. Dasha & Kate Umbitalieva (Grannys Crochet Hook) are sisters from St. Petersburg who share an Instagram amigurumi account and a big love for crochet. Instagram is also the place where they first saw Nours character Lula and asked her if they could use her drawing as inspiration to design a doll and pattern, and thats how they got the ball rolling.
