Crochet has Tassie hooked

CROCHET is making a comeback.

A growing number of Tasmanians are taking up the hobby, keen to make blankets and clothing the way their grandmothers did and create the trendy crocheted toys, high-fashion outfits and designer homewares they see in up-market boutiques and magazines.

At The Stash Cupboard in Hobart, crochet classes now outnumber knitting classes two-to-one, with many of the students aged in their 20s and 30s.

Sites like Facebook and YouTube are overflowing with how-to guides and forums, making it easier than ever to take up wool crafts.

The Stash Cupboard owner Penni Castellana said there had been a resurgence in knitting in the past decade, but crochet had boomed in recent months.

"Recently crochet has become more popular ... it's taking off all over the place," she said.

Howrah's Rebecca Spry, 30, was taught to knit as a child by her grandmother and rediscovered knitting and crochet as an adult.

She said it was a social hobby - enthusiasts get together weekly to crochet and chat at craft stores and cafes around Hobart, while others enjoy book clubs or dinner dates while they knit.
