Thanks for that nice bit of crochet history. I started to crochet in the late 1970s when expecting my first child, making a "granny-square" blanket for her - they weren't called granny squares then, as we weren't grannys... yet. But that blanket is now part of my grandson's bedding. Back then I learned the craft from some older hippy friends but after that first daughter was born, I didn't crochet again until the end of 2022. The reason was because I saw my youngest (20 something) daughter get all excited about a rather boring crochet tote bag she saw on another young woman on the street. That's when I learned that crochet was BACK. I decided to relearn the craft as I knew I could make a bag for my daughter that was a lot more interesting and individualized then the one we saw on the street.. I'm still working on it and KZbin videos have been providing brilliant refresher courses.

I think crochet is currently associated with Grandmothers because they are/were the ones who taught their grandchildren the craft, and had more free time to do it. They also did crochet in their youth for their hope chests in order to beautify their homemade linens. My grandmother, born in the 1890s, taught me, and I taught my own grandchildren. Printed patterns have been available for a much shorter time than the craft has been popular. I think this is because in the past people shared patterns they had, or had inherited, or had created themselves with one another. In the same way that people used to copy music (one person would buy the piece and friends would copy it - hence the name 'copybook'), people copied patterns for things like dresses, crocheted purses, collars, antimacassars, etc. The first garment I made was from the only pattern I happened to find - a mesh shawl. It was years before I even found another pattern (this was the late 70s).The choice of patterns and yarn is based on the market. I'm old enough to have seen the rise and fall and rise (and possibly another fall upcoming) of the small yarn shop. These things are often cyclical and happen in many different markets and I imagine that niche markets (like yarn) are much more volatile than larger ones (like food). I don't think it makes sense to bring race into this. I have never cared nor even thought about the color of a yarn designer or a pattern designer, or a KZbinr. I care about quality. I care about learning new techniques (I discovered and learned Tunisian from TL Yarn Crafts). I care about finding the thing I am looking for. I follow patterns from Russian and Portuguese designers who have no english subtitles. I subscribe to several channels whose creators are men. None of the trending diversity stuff matters. What matters is taste, quality, skill. The one extraneous thing I do care about is unfair government interference in the market, so I prefer to not buy yarn or supplies made in China. Thank you for this video. It is interesting to think about how domestic crafts grow and change, ebb and flow through our culture. I have a small book of knitting and crochet patterns that is from the early 1900s. The only crochet pattern is filet and the patterns are for collars, cuffs, purses, etc. How they are written is fascinating. You absolutely have to know what you are doing, for most of the process is assumed and the details are few.

I'm with you on the race thing. The problem I have with the whole "we need diversity" thing is that it comes across like it's not valid without every nationality being equally represented. It's very limiting, and a narrow mindset. As a woman who makes it a priority to dress modestly, it is also very troubling when a lot of these diverse creators end up creating things that are highly immodest and overtly sexualized. I would watch more content from diverse cultures if it wasn't so skimpy. It has nothing to do with their nationality, it has everything to do with their content.

The disappearance of yarn and craft stores was surprising to me. At that time I was into latch hook. It was disappointing to struggle to find pre-cut yarn. So I stopped. In my new neighborhood, there is a local independent yarn store three blocks from my home. They are returning with beautiful yarns made from amazing natural materials. I would like to see a video about what happened to stores like Yarn Mart. The yarns were plentiful and affordable. There were supplies for needlepoint, embroidery, latch hook, knitting, crocheting, etc. Thank you for sharing informative videos. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane with the fashion photos.

I am an artist and an avid crocheter. Yarn bombing is awesome, as long as it does not cover up beautiful things, and in my opinion anything that is nature made is beautiful. Yarn on trees is a big no no for me. However yarn on wire fences, or dilapidated buildings, or junk, or anything that is an eye sore in the environment screams for a yarn bomb. Yarn bombers should consider the material they are using when planning a yarn bomb. How much plastic is in the yarn and how would it affect the environment should it get worn out by the elements? I am not an environmentalist, but I do care about pollution and specifically about water pollution. Micro plastics are everywhere and we do not need to add more to the environment with more plastic yarn.

Hit like before you even spoke. Knew you would be great! Edit to say: I can only speak for myself. I grew up poor white, in the 50's/60's. In rural small town boonies. I learned to crochet in my Grama's beauty shop by watching little old ladies (in their 40's and 50's - i thought that was old then) crochet under the hair dryer. The town had 3 beauty shops. Grama's shop was considerably lower in price and people of color came to her. For me, this was treasure. I was young and wanted the "mod" things. The little white ladies taught me doilies and hot pads. The hispanic and black ladies taught me to use stitch patterns, to combine those colors, to make the things that were in the magazines that sat beside those old hair dryers. Media culture shut them out, we know that, but man, those were stitch artists. Sadly all those precious ladies are passed on now but I still live near the same place. My 2 best friends are granddaughters of a couple of those ladies. And yes, they crochet too. Spent the day crocheting with one Wednesday. But neither of us can go as fast or fancy and her grandmother did. Nope, they did not get what they deserved. But my teachers are remembered and talked about as incredibly talented artists.

The first video ever uploaded says "Crochet Stitch - No secret - No audio". It's not Spanish, it's actually Portuguese, probably the video is from Brazil. Crochet is super popular here, even more than knitting (much more than knitting, I daresay). Brazilian crochet garment patterns are super fancy, I particularly like them more than the English language patterns I've seen (the contrary is true for knitting patterns). We also have a lot of rugs and home decor patterns in general here, but almost no blanket patterns. Probably this all has to do with the climate, as crochet may be better for producing Summer clothing and also we have much more access to great cotton than to wool.

My mother and sister can sew but neither one could learn how to crochet, so it's a lil point of bragging pride for me because I never thought I could possibly learn ANY kind of sewing/fiber art. I did begin over the pandemic and only wish I would've known earlier how much it calms me and how much enjoyment and pride I feel when I make something.

I hate yarn bombing! Waste of yarn and is really bad for the environment. It reminds me of graffiti and I dislike it as much as graffiti.

🤣🤣🤣 I like the mullet reference. It's amazing how far tech & style has come in such a short time.

Backing up what another person said about the diversity thing, but adding onto it. The problem I have with the whole "we need diversity" thing is that it comes across like it's not valid without every nationality being equally represented. It's very limiting, and a narrow mindset. I don't watch a lot of crocheters in general as I often get irritated by the sounds of their voice, background noises, or even word choice, and that goes for all nationalities. It's also disingenuous as the demand for diversity means that whole groups of people who may not have crochet as their art form are now being demanded to add it to their skill set to please other people. Likewise, people who may be sensitive to the way other people sound are now being told that their ability to enjoy a video doesn't matter because they HAVE to have equal nationality representation. As a woman who makes it a priority to dress modestly, it is also very troubling when a lot of these diverse creators end up creating things that are highly immodest and overtly sexualized, with lewd comments to boot. I would watch more content from different creators if it wasn't so skimpy, and that even includes other fair skinned people. I find that I even get distracted from the crochet content by how much skin is showing. I should not feel like I am being unfair by choosing not to watch content from people who's style of dress bothers me. It has nothing to do with their nationality, it has everything to do with their content and how it appeals to me as a fellow crocheter.
