For part of 2012 I did Etsy themed treasuries designed to inspire. January’s themes were: 1970′s Crochet, Must-Have Crochet for Skiers, Crochet for a Spa Day, Common New Years Resolutions, and Sexy Crochet Shoes. February’s Etsy treasury themes were: Blue and Grey in Crochet, Puff Stitch Celebrated, Risque, Quirky and Off-the-Wall Valentine’s Crochet, and Crochet + Words. March’s themes were Crochet for every room in the house, Colored borders around granny squares, Celebrate springtime!, and Items to cover the ears. And then in April I did Stylish Neon Crochet and Coachella Crochet Ideas.
Also for part of the year I did Friday Open Discussions discussing taking crochet shortcuts, crochet in chain stores and honoring the craft. In February the topics were Pros and Cons of Pinterest, Crochet Snobbery, Alternative Material Crochet and Crochet Resentments. The Friday Open Discussion themes in March 2012 were: Should you be paid for your crochet knowledge?, What do you call yourself? Are you a crocheter, a maker, an artist?, Copyright boundaries, The label “domestic” and The movement to send crochet vaginas to the government.

Crochet Fashion
See these links with images in the original roundup of 2012 crochet fashion.
My most popular post was my overview of crochet in the Dolce and Gabbana designer clothing line. People were especially intrigued by their granny square crochet handbag that looks very DIY but is priced at nearly $3000.In addition to the main Dolce and Gabbana post, I did two other posts about them, first asking what people would charge if they made the expensive crochet bag themselves and sold it and then doing a roundup of other D&G crochet bags. I also did a comparison of similar crochet items from The Sak and Dolce and Gabbana.
