El tejido del crochet permaneció por muchos años debajo de la luz pública por que sus patrones, puntos y productos parecían sacados de cuentos de abuelita.
No sé cómo pasó o qué fue exactamente lo que motivó el renacimiento del crochet, pero ahora está en todas partes.

It's been ages since I posted, but I took some pictures last Tejercito meeting and wanted to share them with you. It's unbelievable what has been achieved by the loyal Tejercito girls in Guadalajara. :) (and by those in Monterrey who gladly keep on without the meetings, thank you girls!)

Yup. A clever girl in Toronto crochets, and decided to give a sex-sexy twist to her crochets. She decided to crochet boobs and penises as little amigurumi projects to (guess what) help teach people on how to explore themselves so they can detect (and prevent) cancer.
Clever, right? :) I just found these today and find them really flaiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13389236374122610409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749291547185221272.post-46568536469707565782010-12-06T18:33:00.000-06:002010-12-06T18:33:37.230-06:00Quieroposh's POPUP SHOP & LITTLE THINGS BY FLAII:D

So, here are some of my crocheted things you'll be seeing at her shop. You can also order directly to me :) Some of these crochets would truly make a great seasonal gift! Whaddayathink!

If it's up to me to decide whether I prefer sweet or salty for breakfast, it will always be sweet for me. (I always think that morning is the best time to eat sweets, because you'll eventually burn calories throughout the day, rather than eating sweets at night and letting your body save up fats for the next Glacial Age)

Bueno, lo había tenido en el olvido una vez más, hasta que viendo un episodio de "The Secret Millionaire" de la BBC se me prendió el foco y tuve la idea de irme cada miércoles a sentar en algún café tapatío con un cártel que dijera "TEJO POR UNA CAUSA, ÚNETE!"

Twyla Harp is a coreographer that wrote this book thinking in creative people overall: it doesn't matter if you're a writer, a designer or even an actor: creativity is everywhere and so are creative blocks.

It is a special occasion in which scholars leave school early, but also a special occasion to remember who you were as a child, what was it that you love, and how you saw the world. Out of pure nostalgia i typed several things on Etsy that I adored as a child, and made my own list of things I'd adore now if I still had 5-8 years. :)
