Knitting and crochet are definitely having a comeback, I mean, just look at how many knitting places there are in LA. So put those skills to work and make yourself a little cozy atop a nearby stool or add a little starch and make yourself a

I guess it depends on your generation. I'm older and grew up with afghans/pot holders/pillows like this.... to the point of never wanting to see another one in my whole life.
