Young women are starting to knit, crochet, etc.

Some of the young adults in my family are crocheting little figurines, and I was astounded.
They refuse to learn how to sew on a damn button or mend a dog toy!

Yes if you get some nice basic clothing, you can sex it up with jewelry, scarves, etc.
I think these might be in too this coming year.

When money is tight, women go back to hand crafts for fun and practical use.
I keep wanting to hand crochet one of those big blankets.
