2011 en ganchillo: Tracey Emin, Christhoper Kane, AHA Bolivia, lovers’ knots
What was going on in September 2011 en crochet? How has it changed? What about some longer-ago history? It’s all here in this post. It starts with Día Internacional de ganchillo, which is every year on September 12th. It is also the time for the annual 60 Bufandas en 60 Días.
Arte Crochet
I looked at the crochet in the work by artist Tracey Emin. Emin is a terrific artist. She doesn’t typically work in crochet but has included crochet pieces in some of her work in the past. I liked her 2008 public art project to raise awareness about teen pregnancy; she crocheted items like baby booties to place on display around town. Emin currently has an exhibit going on at Turner Contemporary and is part of an online year-long exhibit through Tate.
Crochet Libros
Revisé Crochet Master Class. This is a great book to give you an introduction to many different techniques in crochet. Marie of the Crafter Underground blog did a terrific series for her Year of Projects last year exploring this book and sharing what she learned and made.
Gané Totes for all Reasons by Marty Miller, which I enjoyed and then eventually gave away to someone else to enjoy, demasiado.

Aquí son algunas de las cosas inteligentes personas dijeron:
“I fell in love with Bruges lace because it not only resembles the filigree work of vintage bobbin lace, but it also offers a challenging variety of shape, color, and yarn to experiment with this.” – Crochet Master Class
“Crochet is a popular trimming for several reasons: it is quick to do, hard wearing, and infinitely flexible to work. Después de todo, there is only one stitch to concentrate on at any given time, and the next stitch can take a variety of forms and positions.” – Kate Haxell
“In the early nineteenth century, young women spent hours creating miles and miles of laces to decorate the large quantities of household linens and delicate personal undergarments that would fill their hope chests.” – Jennifer Hansen
“I love needlework history, especially that of the Victorian period. Victorians embellished everything, and a tassel cover tells it all: They embellished the embellishment!" – Nancy Nehring

Hilo
I wanted to try this metallic crochet thread. Nunca me acaban de conseguir que, aunque. I don’t crochet with thread very often but I’ve enjoyed a few types of thread in the past year including Temas Bre-Aly y Hilo Haven Waxed Thread.
Revisé Fern Loop-d-Loop yarn. This novelty yarn has limited application but is so beautiful when done right and this remains one of my favorite scarves to wear.

Este día en la historia de ganchillo
I looked up this date in crochet history and found an article from 1972 about The Service League. This is a group that volunteers with New Mexico hospitals and it is still active today. One part of the program is to create knit and crochet items for babies in these hospitals.
