When I say Then & Now, what comes to mind...Well, It would be things from then past and things from now. We could talk about a lot of things, but here I will be talking about clothing & crochet.
As we have notice in the world of clothing the styles always come back in style. So lets go to the 60's & 70's we had bellbottoms, hip huggers, peasant style tops & platform shoes. Also anything that had a Indian theme to it. In crochet there was crochet bags, hats, scarves & ponchos and a lot more, but I will just stick with these few things since there is SO MANY more that I could get in to. So if you were a kid or teen in the 60's & 70's you know these styles very well just as I do. You may have loved or hated them back in the day. Me I was a kid in the 70's and I hated my bellbottoms & my fishheads sneakers . So now if you have been keeping a eye out on the styles over the past few years what do you see all the the young women & girls wearing, well it's the same styles we use to wear. But now they the have changed the names to make them seem like they are a new style. Now we have flare jeans, low rides & blocks shoes. And jus the other day I walked past a local women's clothing store and sitting up in the windows were moccasins.

See where I'm going here "Then & Now"..
Now onto crochet.. Even thou crochet is back big time the name of the items have not changed the only main differences is that now most of these items can be bought in the store and not handmade for by mom or grandma, or another family member like back in the day. I remember my mom and great grandma making hats, scarves even a dress for me when I was a kid. Now most of these items are mass produced using crochet machines. Yes, there are still plenty of crocheters out there and I'm one of them. What you would get from us will be much better then anything you can find in a store. Because we make every item with TLC and that's something you won't find from a machine.
So as we all get older, young & old a like, remember Then & Now and take a good look at these things because it just might be something from your past that is back again just a different name.
