It’s almost Halloween.  If you really want to get back to 1978 and stick with the holiday theme here are some of the horror movies that came out in 1978:

  • Jaws 2 and Damien: Omen II were both released in June of 1978
  • The Swarm was released in July.  It’s about a swarm of deadly African bees. 
  • Halloween came out in October of 1978
  • Attack of the  Killer Tomatoes!
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers was released in December of 1978
  • Dawn of the Dead was released in Italy in 1978 but didn’t make it to the USA until April 1979
 
 
November Top 40 that year included some classics like;
  • “Double Vision” – Foreigner
  • “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” – Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond
  • “Hot Child in the City” – Nick Glider
  • “One Nation Under a Groove” – Funkadelic
  • “YMCA” – The Village People
  • “Blue Collar Man”– Styx
  • “I’m Every Woman” – Chaka Khan
  • “Straight On” – Heart
 
 
War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk was in the number one slot for best sellers in November.  I've read two of the books on the top 15 for fiction; Illusions by Richard Bach and The World According to Garp by John Irving.
 
 If Life is a Bowl of Cherries – What Am I Doing in the Pits? by Erma Bombeck was in its 27th week on the non-fiction best seller list.  Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford moved into the #1 spot for the week of November 26.  

​The November 1978 Workbasket Magazine had five crochet patterns; a sweater and shoulder purse, a square doily, decorative muffler and your two choices for the month; a long-legged clown or the crochet hat/scarf set. 


​​The Long Legged Clown is described as a “darling, soft toy clown.”  It calls for several colors of worsted weight yarn, a size J hook, felt, glue and “ample stuffing”.

The Crochet Hat/Scarf Set also uses worsted weight yarn and Mohair.  The Mohair is used as the main part of the scarf and the motifs are done in regular weight yarn.  If this is chosen I might choose to make the one of the two and would not use Mohair.

Let me know which one you think I should make this month!

    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.
