From the Library of Congress

I was at the Library of Congress's site and I just thought what the heck, I'd type crochet in the search box. There was one picture and you can see it here

[Granny Square]

I wonder what she's making?

 

More fun - type in 'lace'. Thanks for the link!

looks like it might be the top of perhaps a night gown? remember every thing would have had a practical reason....what fascinates me is how young she was

I have the same problem. A lot of times when I try to walk and talk at the same time I end up with my foot in my mouth or trip over my tongue.

What a fascinating picture. I can't even imagine what life was like for our crafting foremothers! (I typed in "lace" also-- wow!)
