\"Pansy<\/a><\/p>\n

Coats and Clark Pansy Patch Bedspread<\/a> made by my grandmother, Laura Nehring<\/a>, in the late 1960s. Pattern reprinted with permission of Coats and Clark.<\/p>\n

March and National Crochet Month have rolled around again. This year for Crochetville’s National Crochet Month blog tour, I want to introduce you to a new section on my web page, Quiet Yarns – Textile Artists. You’ll see the section in the right hand column about half way down.<\/p>\n

Quiet Yarns is a collection of stories that I will continue to add to about women (and maybe a few men) who did needlework as part of their daily lives. You probably haven’t heard of any of them. They worked quietly in their homes to add a little luxury to their lives, have a creative outlet, do a little needlework to relax, or maybe make a little money to help support their families. Their stories are typical for the times they lived in so were seldom considered important enough to tell. I’ll tell a few here. I’d like to start you off with the story of my grandmother, Laura Nehring<\/a>, and her crocheted Pansy Bedspread.<\/p>\n

If you missed last year’s blog tour, check out my Crochet Hook Classification<\/a>. It’s a work in progress but already has a lot of good information that will help you identify and date your old crochet hooks. It also has photos of all of the CGOA Commemorative Crochet Hooks.<\/p>\n

\"Carol<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, if you did not see my blog post last month, I have a free crochet pattern for Carol Danvers’ (aka Captain Marvel) Lucky Hat<\/a>\u00a0first seen in Marvel Comics – Captain Marvel Issue 9.\u00a0The hat looks like and stretches like knit but it is actually made with slip stitch crochet. Since this hat was made by for Carol by her grandmother Rose<\/strong> in the comic, my version features a beautiful crocheted rose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
