What is it? – Crochet is cool. There was a time when almost all of the gals and some of us guys grew up learning how to crochet from our moms or grandmothers. It was a necessary skill that seemed to play out as life became more fast-paced. All of a sudden it was more economical to purchase finished goods than to buy materials and devote the time required to complete a project. But times have changed and the creative itch is back. Crochet now goes to places where grandma never imagined. And what takes us there? Technology takes us there. New materials and an unending selection of resources. Manufactures now produce yarns in every shade of the rainbow and in unlimited styles and textures. Add to that the creative influence of internet resources and the possibilities are boundless.
