June 1977

Jimmy Carter is president.   We were still heading to the movie theater to see “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” that had been released in May.   Bestselling fiction included Falconer by John Cheever and The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough.   I remember The Thorn Birds getting passed around school and town but I don’t remember the Falconer. The non-Fiction bestseller was Your Erroneous Zones by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

The Walt Disney Movie “Rescuers” is released, Wonder Woman was on ABC that summer and the first Apple II went on sale.
​

Top 40 hits were:
·         “Dreams” – Fleetwood Mac
·         “Got to Give it up” – Marvin Gaye
·         “Feels Like the First Time” – Foreigner
·         “Lucille” – Kenny Rogers
·         “Jet Airliner” – The Steve Miller Band
·         “Heard it in a Love Song” – Marshall Tucker Band
·         “I Just Want to Be Your Everything” – Andy Gibb
·         “When I Need You” – Leo Sayer
·         “Knowing Me, Knowing You” – ABBA

Workbasket Magazine says sunbonnets are back in for mother and daughter and they had five crochet patterns.   This outfit on the cover isn't one of them but it is a great photo of 1977 hair and makeup.

    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.
