Lily Wang is currently a sophomore at Catlin Gabel School. She began crocheting back in March 2021 in hopes of finding a new quarantine hobby and it has been a defining feature in her life ever since. Recently, Lily started a crochet club at Catlin Gabel with the intention of creating crochet blankets to donate towards a greater cause. Along with crocheting, Lily is interested in working towards solutions against issues presented in the world. She is super excited to be a part of the Crochet for Chnge team and combine both of her interests into one project – using art in the form of crochet as a platform against injustice.
