I was a few weeks old.  Check out the crocheted pineapples on the couch!

​Lyndon Johnson was President, the Vietnam War is going on and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was established. 

Top 40 songs included:
  • “Soul Man” – Sam and Dave
  • “Incense and Peppermints” – Strawberry Alarm Clock
  • “A Natural Woman” – Aretha Franklin
  • “People are Strange” – The Doors
  • “I Can See For Miles” – The Who
  • “Kentucky Woman” – Neil Diamond
  • “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” - Gladys Knight and the Pips
  • “Daydream Believer” – The Monkees
  • “I Say a Little Prayer for You” – Dionne Warwick
  • “I Second That Emotion” – Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
 
The New York Times listed the bestselling fiction book for all of November was The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron and Publishers Weekly had The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton as one of the top fiction books.

People were watching Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Lucy Show and The Red Skelton Show on TV.   Star Trek was in the middle of its second season.      Cool Hand Luke was released in the theaters.

The November 1967 issue of Workbasket Magazine had six knitting patterns, some questionable crafts like joy logs and apple head dolls (more on these later this month) and only two crochet patterns.

It's such a classic vintage pattern.

    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.
