Have you every wondered about the history of Crocheting and it origin? I have always wondered but never taken the time to research this wonderful art form that many of us enjoy along with family members, friends and so many others. 

For sometime I have been promising myself that I would try to find information on this subject for my own knowledge.  As I delved into the subject I leaned more then I had ever imagined would have been written.  My first intentions was to write my own article but after many hours of reading that thought soon vanished.  There are far superior articles then I could ever hope to write on the history of Crochet.

Here is a wonderful link that I found while researching and it covers a vast amount of information in brief with many references you can read or research..

On a short note some of you will notice that I have been busy changing this blog, a search box has been added making it simpler to locate old posts and tabs have been added at the top.   You will notice new selection have been added. A few have items added while others are still a work in progress. 

The plans are to add some antique and vintage patterns, how to books and other related to Needlework.
 See Crochet menu tab for this FREE PATTERN. 

Have a wonderful and Magical day.

 

Punch Needle, free patter for you to enjoy.  This pattern was designed from a fun day watching that darn crow go after the tom cat in our backyard.  It was funny to watch them as they seemed to be taunting each other and as you know both are very mysterious critters. I find a lot of enjoyment setting or working in the backyard garden.  A neighbor moved away and left an adult tom cat behind.  He became so skinny, ragged and frighten for being left to fetch for himself.  My son was able to become friends with him and this old tom cat has brought a lot of entertainment

and love to our family, as he is really quite the character.  He has brought many days of enjoyment to us and I have found myself sketching pictures of some the crays things he and that crow have done. 

Have fun and enjoy this free patter design.  THAT DARN CROW FREE PATTERN

Happy Fall to all of you.
