If you have lived on this earth for at least two decades, you are aware that trends always make their way back around for a second or third or fourth appearance. Bell bottom jeans, shoulder pads, Formica counter tops, wall paper, wall-to-wall carpet and so on have all been around the block and back again. The great thing about a trend returning is that usually, when it comes back, it's better than ever. This theory has never been more accurate in the world of knitting and crochet. Most people (myself included) do not know the difference between the two crafts and generally use the words, "knit" and "crochet" interchangeably. According to hobbyride.com, "Both methods can be used to produce articles of clothing, house wares like blankets or table cloths, and accessories like bags or caps, in general crochet work is lighter, being crafted of thread, while knitting tends to produce heavier articles like knitted sweaters for winter. Both yarns and threads come in various grades and weights that are similar for given applications. For instance crochet thread used to produce coverlets known as afghans are roughly equivalent in size to a regular knitting yarn and the two may be interchanged." Thanks to all of these crafty crafters and websites that highlight both crochet and knit work such as Etsy, the inter sanctum of crochet and knitting has been throttled into mainstream design and home decor. Very high end retailers and webtailers sell crochet items that can embellish the most beautifully designed interiors. Check out the photos below of some great crochet and knit items available at Weisshouse. Also, for a little more inspiration, visit http://www.casasugar.com/Cool-Modern-Crochet-Home-13253647.
