Craft group crocheting troop caps for soldiers

The Villages Daily Sun: "Craft group crocheting troop caps for soldiers
By JILL SHERMAN, DAILY SUN
THE VILLAGES - Eight pounds of aqua yarn was a great gift, even for a project designed primarily for men.

The Monday night craft group that meets at Laurel Manor Center has been focusing recently on crocheting troop caps for American soldiers serving overseas. The caps cushion soldiers' heads from the harshness of their helmets and had been started with yarn in colors that would suit masculine tastes - blue, red, and earthy browns and greens. After all, it is primarily men who are in the field and, therefore, wearing helmets. "

This is a Blessing!

Young designer puts best foot forward using crochet

Young designer puts best foot forward (phillyBurbs.com): "Katherine, who will enter eighth grade at Linden Hall School for Girls in Lititz this fall, transforms discount-store and Internet-bought beach sandals, popularly known as 'flip-flops,' into wearable works of art. Adorned with hand-crocheted fringes, they are crowned with colorful buttons."


Impressive Work for an eight year old. Sounds Cute ;)

SINCE teaching herself how to crochet from instructions downloaded from the Net, Roberta Bea Camacho has yet to make a scarf or a sweater. But her creations, all intended for her course in Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, are more of emotional statements rather than fashionable ones."
