London Kaye Yarn Bomb Kit I wish I could keep it for myself. A Question I received a few months ago, "Why are you doing Crochet Videos, Don't you know no one Crochets any more?" First I was hurt, next I was mad, then I decided to do a survey. I asked My Crochet Designer Friends What age category they fit into. This is the results Age Percent 60-70 20% 50- 59 30% 40-49 20 % 30-39 15 % 20-29 10% 19 and Under 5% I think This chart shows that people are still crocheting, but and maybe we do need to encourage younger people to learn to Crochet. We Do not want this Wonderful art to stop. Keep Calm, And Crochet On!
The First time I saw The Christmas Granny Square Boots was in the Early 1970's when My Friend's Mom was making them. She put crumpled news paper in the toe of the boot. I think she used big pickle or mayonnaise jars to hold cookies she had made.
A few years later I was given one from my Sunday School Teacher.
She put tissue paper in the toe of the boot, and a big paper cup in the leg of the boot.
She filled it with candy. The old Fashioned hard kind that tasted like cloves and cinnamon.
I pulled out that boot the other day, and decided to share it with you, with a modern twist. I used Sparkle yarn From Hobby Lobby / I Love This Yarn Metallic and
