Crocheting was very popular in the 70s. Lots of women, and maybe even men were crocheting in their spare time. Some of them made beautiful clothes, jackets, skirts, children´s dresses, hats, mittens, scarfs and collars - there was a lot of imagination and people were creative in this great kind of art.Lots of bed covers were made and coatings for pillows and beautiful runners to put on almost every table. Even towels were made with crocheting - or at least you could put a crocheted lace on the sides of the towel.In the first half of last century it was very common to crochet laces for sheets. Even when the sheets are worn out, the lace is still perfect. It could be used for a new sheet or curtain and still stay in good condition for many years.
The yarn for crocheting was often cotton but for clothes it could be wool. There were some really beautiful yarns that could be used for decoration. Some of them with silk and others shining like gold, silver or colored metal. Even linen yarns could be popular and in Finland, where this art is developed very far, you can still buy lots of cotton and linen yarns with different structures.
Do you want to start crocheting. You will need crochet hooks. You can start with medium size, if you are new and then buy thinner or thicker hooks when you need them. There are lots of books with instructions for beginners and more advanced crocheters and you may even find patterns in some relative´s house.
I hope you try the crocheting and develop in your own personal way. It will give you a lots of joy and a long lasting hobby.
I am slowly beginning to see the huge possibilities we have to build different pages about almost anything that interest us. I just got an idea to post the articles in myLot too, you get paid a little and you get more known as a writer. I have written lots of posts there and could use some of them on my Profitmart pages with some small changes.
That could save a lot of time and energy and as content does not need so extremely well edited, the searchengines will find it anyway, this could be an idea for someone who is a member of myLot or some other forum.
