Remember the Days...

I wasn't much of a hippie or flower child back in the day, but I did like crafting my own clothes. I sewed trim on my bell-bottoms and crocheted granny square afghans and ponchos.

Doesn't this take you back?


Lion Brand Yarn has the pattern. http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/30330AD.html?noImages=

Mushrooms were all the rage:

I had to look hard to find a retro knitting pattern as granny squares and crocheted stripes were the uniform of the day.

I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane and were inspired to make something a little retro.

Happy crafting,
