Talking Crochet with Carol Alexander

Today's issue of Talking Crochet had the results of the Craft Yarn Council of America's 2005 market survery. The data agrees with what we're seeing in the stores, in magazines, and in catalogs - crochet is hotter than ever. Crocheters and knitters - here's the facts "The ratio of crocheted to knitted projects held steady at 66% for crochet and 34% for knitters." There was an increase in the number of projects, and and increase in the sale of fashion yarn.
