Crochet always remind me of my chica dias and my mom use to sit on the porch in the summer and make these beautiful crochet pieces, especially throws! The one she made me was a light and dark purple throw which crochet flowers in each square. I didn't really appreciate the cuteness of it until I lost it. How did I lose it? I still don't know! However, the memories are still there.
Although crochet is usually associated with cooler weather, I am really fond of it all year round. One way to embrace crochet is with pieces trimmed with the wonderful craftsmanship. Apparently, it's not that hard to find clothes with touches of crochet. It makes me wonder, does crochet detail ever go out of style?
Anyway, here are a couple of examples.
