The other day my friend Toni brought a bunch of her favorite crochet books to the needle arts group I meet with on Sunday afternoons. I had a great time looking through her books, but one of them stood out above the others. It was a vintage crochet book called The Complete Book of Crochet by Elizabeth Mathieson, published in 1946. The book itself was a 1947 edition. The thing I found so remarkable about this book was its absolutely delightful vintage illustrations. I thought I'd share a few of them here today for your viewing pleasure. Please note that all of the images are the property of the author and the publisher. If you pin them please be sure to note in the description that they are from Elizabeth Mathieson's book. Enjoy! What a fun bit of crochet tradition and history!

This is a great project to use up all of your odds and ends of yarn, combining them together to make your own unique colour pallette of super chunky yarn. Depending on the yarns you choose, this can make it a substantial and quite weighty piece. It is bright and colourful, with a real 70's boho vibe. It is suitable for a beginner who has mastered the basics of knitting, casting on and off, colour changing using the intarsia method (tying in new colours as you go), knit and purl and some basic sewing up. Each stage of making this special design has been illustrated with images as well as written instructions. So, in spite of it being a freestyled knit, you will be able to reproduce it using these instructions. Feb 2022: The pattern has been fully updated with a clear layout, additional written instructions around the construction of the cardigan, tension and how to combine the yarns to achieve the correct weight of yarn.

Knitting and crocheting are about the only needlecrafts that I did not pick up on. However, doing needlework beside the fire on a cold night (see the flakes in the window?) with my kitties driving me nuts is a great evening indeed!

Learn how to make a Potholder Rug! Hand-drawn illustrations in this 7-page DIY tutorial show the exact steps for upcycling old clothing and material to create a beautiful, durable potholder rugs. Please note: This tutorial does not include directions on how to make a loom. Looms are available for purchase in my Etsy shop. Potholder Rugs use a lot of material with very little waste. The average 2.5x3.5ft rug made on our standard-sized Potholder Rug loom, weighs 7lbs. Figure there is a 30% waste factor so you will need about 10 lbs of raw material garments to make your first rug. Keep in mind that different kinds of fiber weigh substantially differing amounts — an XXL Fleece weighs a lot less than an XXL Cotton Sweatshirt. I encourage you to use my technique as much as you desire. Kindly credit me when using this technique that I have devised and developed since 1990. See below for the story of how Potholder Rugs came to be! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Thanks for looking! Check out my upcoming events and workshops, read my blog, and see my latest work at www.crispina.com. My work is listed here on Etsy, and it is also sold in artists' markets and on my website. We make every effort to consistently update our online inventory for accuracy. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CRISPINA — INVENTOR OF POTHOLDER RUGS While a college student at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, I began using wool sweaters from the thrift shop to make Ragamuffin dolls that I developed as schoolwork and sold at The Cambridge Artist Cooperative. The raw material was completely awesome to me. I loved the colors, textures, sourcing, and price; and felt as though a magical mine of possibility had been discovered. Soon, mittens, then blankets and reconstructed sweaters were being compiled by a bevvy of amazing hand sewers under my employ. My penchant for material was married to the calling I still feel — to creatively inspire an alternative to excessive consumption. My work was in high demand and finding enough material was becoming difficult. Paul Petrescu, and old and dear friend of my father, had recently defected from Romania, and was living with my parents in Stockbridge, MA. He was an Eastern European Folk Art Scholar and was intrigued by my work. When he learned of my material conundrum, Paul told me of a wholesale used clothing place called The Garment District in Cambridge, MA (with his perfect, albeit accented, English). I never learned how he, having been in the country for only a matter of months at the time, knew this key to launching my creative and environmental process to the next realm. He was one of the angels along the way. So off I went with a beat up old van to check The Garment District out. I came home with the van stuffed full of garbage bags brimming with the most amazing wool sweaters and a head whirring with ideas and inspiration. Within a few weeks my treasure trove of material had turned into a pile of sweaters, mittens, and Ragamuffins, which were turning into a pocketful of money. Back I went to my new-found fellow recyclers at The Garment District, this time returning with a 1000 lb. bale of sweaters. Bruce Cohen, proprietor of the place let me and my sidekick, Charlie sort through eight or ten 1000lb bales of ‘wool knits’ to gather the most suitable material for my production needs. AMAZING. As I was rummaging through the mountains of material in the 100-year-old family business housed in an awesomely dingy warehouse, I thought a lot about all the material there. What was the process? Where did it all come from? Who else used this sort of raw material, and, for what purpose? An education ensued, far beyond the formal BFA I had recently fixed under my belt. A full bale of unsorted wool knits was purchased as an experiment to see what could be designed with all the materials we had previously sorted. Lo and behold, Potholder Rugs came to be. They can be made from sweaters with holes and stains, ones that were not really wool at all, bottom-of-the-barrel materials work just fine.

What is the difference between Knitting and Crochet? Knitting keeps many stitches open at a time while crochet closes one stitch before moving to the other.

As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without thinking much about how they relate to one another. But when Natalie Chanin and her Alabama Chanin and The School of Making teams began to look at needlework closely, they realized all stitches are based on geometric grid systems—and by using grids as guides, they could make learning stitches, even seemingly elaborate ones, as easy as child’s play.In The Geometry of Hand-Sewing Chanin presents their breakthrough method, featuring illustrated instructions (for both right- and left-handed stitchers) for more than 100 stitches—from the most basic straight and chain to the more fanciful feather and herringbone; photos of both right and wrong sides; and guidelines for modifying stitches to increase one’s repertoire further. To simplify learning, the book also includes two plastic stitching cards die-cut with the grids on which every stitch in the book is based. These reusable cards can be stitched through for practicing ( just as children use lacing cards to learn to tie shoes) or used as stencils for transferring grids to fabric.About the Author:Natalie Chanin is the founder and creative director of Alabama Chanin and author of Alabama Stitch Book, Alabama Studio Style, Alabama Studio Sewing + Design, and Alabama Studio Sewing Patterns.
