I forgot to mention it on my tumblr but I made a Tutter the Mouse crochet pattern! People liked it so much that I decided to make an Etsy shop to sell it:

I'm adding more characters soon so please give my shop a follow if you're interested!

Piecework Spring 2023

This is the education issue, so there are some articles on the different ways that information was passed down from one generation to the next or via books or manuals by like those by Louisa May Alcott or Elizabeth Zimmerman or Ann MacBeth, or through schooling.

The Rose Leaf Shawl by Carolyn Wyborny was inspired by the doilies of Herbert Nibling, a German knitting master. She also explains how one can take a doily pattern and turn it into a shawl. For the young, a doily was an astonishingly ornate flat piece of crochet or knitting that was put on a table as decoration and or to keep a vase of other item from scratching it; you can find them in antique stores and the amount of effort they took is astonishing. 

You can see on the cover a Pinwheel Scarf for left-handed crochet by Katrina King which takes inspiration from Weldon’s, a Victorian needlework compendium. Weldon’s in also the origins of the pair of blue, textured socks adapted by Liz Stewart. The last image is of a woman holding an example of Hungarian embroidery which is part of an article by Sarah Pedlow who also wrote the accompanying technical article explaining the stitch used.

You can find this issue at your local bookstore, or yarn store or online here: https://pieceworkmagazine.com/

I Diss Granny Squares, Unless in Afghans

This magazine from 1983, Great American Granny Squares, offers lots of projects. It has a few vintage patterns--doilies, bedspreads-- from heavy thread which are extraordinarily complex, but most of the patterns are worsted weight yarn made into squares like the one featured here: Old Fashioned Granny Vest.

The name is unintentionally ironic because old-fashioned crochet was never this simplistic in garment design or color mix. I am not sure even a master colorist like Kaffee Fassett could save what is essentially a set of squares slapped onto the human body as if any part of our bodies were squares. The children's versions are even worse as they use the same size yarn and the front of a vest or sweater becomes one giant square. The drawbacks of granny squares were also their selling point here: so simple to make! Well, yes, but why bother to put any effort however small into something this goofy looking? Ok, maybe a potholder for the first project, but after that, let's aim higher.

The afghan on the cover is not much better than the women's vest, but others included in the magazine are undeniably handsome, especially a monochromatic single square afghan in a range of oranges.

As this example shows, the descent of garment design into greater simplicity during the 1960s and the Youth Quake happened in needlework as well as in dressmaking. Making designs simpler was a tradition in children's clothing; making grown-women's garments equally simple was a new trend brought on the desire to look youthful no matter what. As a result, a lot of sophisticated garment design and needlework got forgotten for a while which is why pre-1960s books and magazines are so valuable. They remind us of great possibilities.
