it may conjure up images of tacky doilies or hippy-style waistcoats. . .
but crochet is making a comeback.
crochet was developed in the 19th century, during the victorian and edwardian era, as an imitation of fine lace - the real thing was expensive, but women could produce crocheted pieces for pennies.
it enjoyed a resurgence post-world war II and again in the sixties and seventies when crocheted waistcoats and dresses became fashionable with the hippy set.
and F.A.R.M. goes English. . .with its own line of bib necklace, made of crocheted colorful floral doilies.
for this line, F.A.R.M. celebrates the rural women of San Nicolas, Baao - my very own community here in the Philippine.
