Picture of the day

Detail of a Portuguese crochet tablecloth, from about 1970. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.Photo credit: Joaquim Alves Gaspar
