Lyndon Johnson is president and there was a lot going on in the world. 
Civil Rights marches, Martin Luther King arrested along with 768 others in Selma, Alabama,  Malcolm X killed, Vietnam, the Gemini Space Program.  

Music - February's Top 40 included classics like:
  • “Downtown” –Petula Clark
  • “My Girl” – The Temptations
  • “Shake” – Sam Cooke
  • “How Sweet it is to be Loved By You” – Marvin Gaye

  • “Bye, Bye, Baby” – The Four Seasons
  • “Heart of Stone” – The Rolling Stones
  • “Goldfinger” – Shirley Bassey
  • “You’ve lost that Lovin’ Feeling” – Righteous Brothers 

Books - Herzog  by Saul Bellow was on the top of the list for fiction best sellers and had been in that position for 18 weeks at the beginning of February.  The best seller for non-fiction was Markings by Dag Hammarskjold.

TV - Popular TV shows included Bonanza, The Lucy Show, Bewitched and Gilligan's Island.

The Workbasket issue we’ll be choosing from this month has six crochet patterns.  This is a very 1960's cover with the hair and knit buttoned cardigan:

​
  • Colorful Afghan– the description is accurate – sadly I couldn’t do an afghan in a month
  • Crocus Cluster Doily – very pretty but still a little too much for one month
  • Girls’ Cap – a sweet little cap
  • Pan Holder – This has an interesting stitch pattern
  • Pillbox Hat – a classic hat made with granny squares
  • Kitten Napkin Holder – also an accurate description.
Any of the last four could have been chosen this month.  They’re all small projects but I narrowed it down to the Pillbox Hat and the Kitten Napkin Holder.  The napkin holder will require some extra work if it’s chosen.  It says “The napkin holder frame can be purchased from a craft or hobby store” but I can’t find anything similar so I’ll have to create my own if that pattern is chosen.
 
Let me know which one you think I should make in February!

You know I love practicality with whimsy, so I vote for the kitten napkin holder. :)

    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.
