Blogs

So anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty much obsessed with all things yarn related but I really have a special place for crochet and so I follow quite a few crochet blogs.  Recently I have noticed that quite a few of these blogs have this statement posted somewhere "This is not your grandmother's crochet" and I get it; I understand that they are trying to educate or show their readers that crochet has evolved that it is not about the afghans, booties, and blankets that your grandmother use to make.  Crochet is cool, hip and stylish now and is way beyond the afghan or so we think.  I first learned how to crochet from my Great Aunt when I was 7 years old and I remember the first thing I completed was a all single crochet dishcloth made from cotton yarn.  I was so excited that I had made something that I had actually made something from yarn.  I would sometimes just sit for hours and watch her crochet no pattern just yarn and her wooden hooks.  I was always expressed with how she knew exactly when to change colors, or when her yarn was about to run out; or how her hats always fit perfectly. 

You see this is where Don't Get It Twisted Crochet was born.  It was born from my Great Aunt's or in this sense my "grandmother's" crochet.  And although you will see colorful "Mohawk Hats" and "Spring Beanies" and "Colorful Shawls" as part of my crochet collection you will always be able to get an all single crochet dishcloth.  Because at the end of the day this will always be your grandmother's crochet!
