Today is December 12, 2012 or 12/12/12. This day only happens once every one hundred years. As I pick up my crochet, flip through a brand new pattern PDF on my computer, and visit my LYS with it's shelves of yarns from all across the country, I wonder what crochet was like a hundred years ago, two...

Picking up one of these patterns and using a hook and ball of thread or skein of yarn to create a finished...

One of my favorite features from the Winter 2011 issue is the first edition in our exploration of crocheted socks. Prior to this issue I had never attempted to make crochet socks before.

From Marcy: I love talking with Dora Ohrenstein. I learn something new with every conversation I have with her. Often in our conversations, she is exuberant to the point that she seem about to burst into song. This is not surprising, given that much of her adult life was dedicated to professional singing...
