LadyBug Pattern Corrections:
Note the following typos to the pattern:
Rnd 18 has been left out. Actually, it should be included in Rnd 19-21--Just change to read: Rnd 18-21. On Rnd 27 I mention working 2 dc’s last dc of each 5 dc group. It should read 6 dc group, as there are 6 dc’s in each group. Same is true with the directions for the trim: there are 6 dc’s in each group, not 5.Thank you for your patience!
A LIttle Crochet History...
During the 1800’s, most crocheting was limited to making crochet lace (Irish crochet) and articles used in convents. Crochet lace was considered a luxury, and was taxed. Queen Victoria was a big proponent of the art of crocheting, and had an Irish crochet veil made for her wedding. Later, she had this re-worked into a christening gown. When the middle class started making household items with crochet, a great controversy arose. Many felt that crochet should be confined to lace making, and sold only to the rich. Because of this, Weldon’s Practical Crochet became a focal point of that controversy. So, although crocheting has been around for a long time, it has only been in the last 100 years or so that it has become a household art - similar to knitting.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
A friend of mine watched the Tim Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a few days ago. She told me that every time they show Charlie in his home with his grandparents, his grandmother is always crocheting AND in many scenes she has a crocheted hat on. Who knew?!
Crochet In The Movies
In the movie "The Miracle Worker," Annie Sullivan (Anne Bancroft) is teaching the young Helen Keller (Patty Duke) to crochet. She then spells the word into Helen's hand but Annie cannot spell "crochet". She stumbles on it, corrects herself, corrects herself again and finally, in exasperation, spells "sewing" into Helen's hand. It's a great scene!
