women are hard worker and are creative as they say. I remember my mother's
younger years making sweaters, socks, laces for petticoats and frocks, edgings
of each and every chunni/dupatta,
table cloths, blouses, bags, made of yarns and threads. In fact she gave
my daughter a sling bag made of yarn, crocheted. I really did realize the
importance of these cute stuff because it’s all done unique, Creativity is the
number one influencing factor that attracts and is important to women.
This is that we keep our hands busy by making designs; you can create your own
designs as a gift present. In that way your stress will be relieved. My mother then
spends quality time making designs and believes me-she has that long patience
in making. She taught me about crocheting (only basics) when I was in Grade 4,
she bought a very big ball of yarn to make a dining table cloth. My God! too
much yarn to buy , I think it was about 5 pounds. Those designs are simple, as
a beginner.
This can
be very simple; all you have to do is to buy the hook. In other words, crochet
means "hook" in India. Hooks can be made of materials such as metals,
aluminum or plastic and are commercially manufactured as well as produced by
artisans. Crocheting, like knitting consists of pulling loops through other
loops, but additionally incorporates wrapping the working material around the
hook one or more times. My mother started crochet at Pune, Maharashtra in 50’s.
The Marathi women were very fond of crochet there they own very olden/primitive
type of crochet hooks that were not ever seen by my mom in Haryana. As per my
mom early crochet hooks ranged from primitive bent needles in a cork handle, to
expensively crafted silver, brass, steel, ivory and bone hooks set into a
variety of handles, some of which were better designed to show off a lady's
hands than they were to work with thread.
