Harry S Truman was president. 

Popular songs that year were “Manana” by Peggy Lee, “Now is the Hour” by Bing Crosby, “It’s Magic” by Doris Day, “My Happiness” by Ella Fitzgerald, “Because” by Perry Como and “Toolie Oolie Doolie” by Dinah Shore.

The New York Times Fiction Best Seller was Shannon’s Way by A. J. Cronin for the first two weeks, The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer slipped in on week three and then back to Shannon’s Way for the last week of September.  Those two books traded back and forth from June to November.

Miss Minnesota BeBe Shopp was crowned Miss America.

Here are a few of the movies that were released in September 1948
  • Johnny Belinda starring Jane Wyman and Lew Ayers
  • Sorry, Wrong Number starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster
  • Rachel and the Stranger starring Loretta Young, William Holden and Robert Mitchum

Your two choices are:
​
Rug in Crocheted Needlepoint – the materials list says to use rug yarn or you can use “discarded rayon hose or underwear cut into narrow strips”.    I’ll just use yarn.     The rug has 9 blocks of each rose pattern that are made individually and then sewn together.  If this wins I might just make one block.  I’d have to see how long it takes.

Checkerboard Pan Holders – these use “string weight” crochet thread.  I think that means #10 crochet thread.  It could be something thicker though so I’d have to try it and see how it works.

​Time to vote!  Which one should I make for September?

    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.
