Meet Emile Ennis Jr.! - Ep. 201
This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m joined by Emile Ennis Jr., a TV host, content creator, and crocheter who is bringing joy, visibility, and personality into the fiber arts space. Emile first learned to crochet from his grandmother, but after her passing, he stepped away from it for a time.
In 2020, he picked up his crochet hook again as a way to reconnect with his grief, his creativity, and the memory of his grandma. What started as something deeply personal has grown into something much bigger.
In the summer of 2025, Emile casually included crochet in a social media post, and the response was immediate. People were drawn not just to the craft, but to the energy, confidence, and presence he brings to it.
Now, he shares crochet content regularly, blending fiber arts with humor, psychology, and his signature clack fan.
In this episode, we talk about:
Learning to crochet and reconnecting with creativity through grief
Representation and visibility in crochet and fiber arts
Building a social media presence as a creative
The unexpected power of sharing your craft online
Finding joy, confidence, and community through making
And yes, we talk about the clack fans.
Emile has designed a line of bold, fun fans that are as expressive as his content, perfect for making a statement or just staying cool. If you are looking for inspiration, creativity, and a reminder that there is space for you in the fiber arts world exactly as you are, this episode is for you.
