A pencil made of natural wood with two bright yellow crochet eyes speared on it. Each eye has a think black pupil from top to bottom in the center. There is a hole in the middle which will be used to attach the eyes to another piece.

Happy #InternationalCrochetDay!

Today I finished the first part of Week 2 of the #MoonlightMagicCAL. I learned some new techniques and am excited to see how these eyes can move once they're in place.

Cabin Crochet We Are [showcasing your family history like never before]

Apparently it is #InternationalCrochetDay so it seems only right to share the gorgeous cabin crochet that decorated the working narrowboats across the Midlands. Deceptively simple patterns that create intricate designs, great fun to work on!

On #InternationalCrochetDay here’s a fine example of a crocheted waistcoat as worn by Mrs Hopkinson of Ashover in the early 1900s. You can easily imagine someone wearing that today.
