Evoluchet
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 by MelI was going to have Char update my progress bar on comprehension of this site… but after my last blasted attempt to post I am resigned to the fact I will remain at 20%. And THAT is why I love crochet, even when it goes wrong it goes right!
I can’t say if it is a definite new movement or if I am only just now aware of it but I do wonder what has brought people round to knitting/crocheting. It is now hippy chic seeminly more so in the last couple years. I love that it is popular, love the ooo’s and ahhh’s and interest to learn I get from people. I just wonder if it is part of the change in people becoming more grounded, more earth conscious, more tactile.
It seems to match up with the exec.’s that have been giving up the hubbub of city stress to start raising goats, vineyards and the like. People seeking out a way to slow down, use yourself directly to create and build. Being in the University the last few months I see less of it as the lot here are gogogo and are all in their heads and books and degrees but I saw it travelling and just wonder, is there a likemindedness and is that one word.
