¡Hola! Introducing Vanessa Vargus Wilson, a creative sewer and quilter on the Knit and Crochet Now! team for season 8. She says her goal in life is "to learn as much as I can about as much as I can ... and then pass that knowledge to my kiddos."

Vanessa (aka Crafty Gemini) was born in New York City and raised in Miami, Fla. Her family is from the Dominican Republic. She is fluent in English and Spanish.
