Of a different yarn: The crochet artist who defied critics

(Updated: )

People say mean things about her odd looks. Her parents wish she'd been a doctor or lawyer instead. All that hasn't stopped Kelly Limerick from spinning her own unique success story. Unusual Suspects features mavericks who have made a name for themselves.

About the show:

Singaporeans may be familiar with world-beaters like Joseph Schooling. But there are many others whom we can be proud of too. These are individuals and groups - sportsmen, performers, artists - who have struck out on paths less travelled and made a name for themselves in their respective fields. They may not be recognised in Singapore but they are no less stars in their own right. This series unveils some of these lesser known high-achievers and looks at the passion that drives them and the commitment that makes them special.
