Crochet Becoming More Mainstream?





Crochet Becoming More Popular

I have been noticing that crochet is popping up in more and more places lately.  I've seen quite a few examples on tv shows and movies, as well as pictures of assorted models & celebrities.  I'm not at all impressed with someone as a "celebrity", by the way.  But I am glad to see that so many different people are choosing crochet.  I've seen a few pictures of upscale designer's clothes lately, that have crochet either as the main construction or an accent piece.





The article I've linked is from a crochet magazine.

Crochet, like other crafts including knitting, goes in and out of fashion.  But I've been thinking lately that it's on the upswing, and that it might be a longer lasting trend this time.

Fine with me!





I don't really have a problem with knitting, other than the jokes about crochet vs. knitting being funny, and I'm just as glad to see knitting featured as I am to have seen so much crochet featured lately.
