RE: A lot of colorful knitted and crocheted squares in my city (Pistoia)! ❤️

in GEMS4 days ago

Absolutely fantastic! What a performance, almost all the women in the village have crocheted, a very good initiative. Unfortunately, it is not appreciated, here in Sweden every flea market is flooded with cute little tablecloths and potholders. In the past, the bride's chest was full of just that and embroidery.

Yes, it was really a fantastic performance, but I agree with you, crocheted things are not appreciated and also here in Italy in the flea markets there are many wonderful tablecloths and potholders and other similar ones. At home I have a large crochet blanket in white cotton yarn made around 50 years ago by the grand mother of my hubby, it's a fantastic piece of art for me but difficult to wash (just by hands ^_^) and maybe because these pieces need a lot of care young people prefer different (more simple to take care of) things for home.
