Crochet Across Time

Recently I was going through old photos to digitize and came across this photo.  One of my sisters is a photographer and loves using film.  This is an excellent example of how film goes across the ages. 
​
This is my grandmother crocheting.

I’m not sure what year it is but based on the photo of my aunt in the background it must be after 1960.   Both my mother and my grandmother crocheted.  They tried to teach me but I didn’t really learn until I was in my early 40s.  As much as I remember my grandmother crocheting you’d think there would be more photos but this is the only one I’ve ever seen of her or my mother with a hook in her hand.  

My grandmother made me clothes for Barbie and small rugs and blankets for my doll house.   My mom made stuffed animals for both of her daughters.   Like this pig and cat:

My main use for these as a teenager was to hold all of my stick pins!  

This summer while visiting one of my aunts, my cousin gave me this pattern that she found when she was going through old patterns and I knew it looked familiar.  It's from Woman's Day, March 27, 1978.

Duck pattern from March 1978 Woman's Day

Today I found this adorable photo of my sister holding the duck made from that pattern!

​Next month I'll have the mittens finished.   I have a lot to say about that pattern so stay tuned!

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.  I'm a member of Crochet Twin Cities, the local Crochet Guild.
