Wendy Donahue, Tribune Newspapers, June 28, 2009:
"Erin Rembert, 23, of Chicago, 'The hippie look is having an aesthetic revival. No updating is required for the maxi dresses I find in vintage shops. People are re-working materialism.' Hippie looks always rally in the sweaty months. But with Hair returning to Broadway, the Grateful Dead resurfacing, Phish reuniting and Woodstock's 40th anniversary approaching, the resurrection is more robust than usual, with crochet bags and trims, peasant tops, vests, ethnic embroideries and prints, fringe, tie-dye fabrics, denim cutoffs, peace-sign jewelry, braids, beads and boots. The prevailing vibe this time around: Tune in, try on - but turn away from a head-to-toe hippie homage. 'A modern approach, says Erica Strama, a fashion expert for the national shopping center chain Macerich, is to pair one or two 60s-inspired pieces, such as a graphic tank layered under a crochet vest, and keep the rest of one's attire modern, simple and unsentimental. Neo-hippies don't shun commerce and the establishment the way their forebears did. 'With good reason,' says Julia Chaplin, who wrote the new hippie-influecned book, Gypset Style. 'It's not the same as it was in the 60s and 70s, Chaplin said. 'We're in a moment in the culture with the economy and environment that we kind of need to work together. I think our establishment right now with [President Barack] Obama is so exciting and cool. Who would want to opt out of that?'"

Crochet is catching on all over the country on coolege campuses. Uiversitydaily.net, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX: "Crocheting the cool new thing" by Sarah Looten. "Daryl Hannah does it. So does Vanna White. Portia de Rossi and Courtney Thorne Smith do it too. The number of women who do it has doubled since 1996. All the cool girls are doing it! Curious?
No, it's not naughty. We all crochet. And let me tell you, crocheting is all the rage today, For the longest time, crocheting has had such a boring, if not bad wrap. Baby blankets and lace doilies have been the norm There was always that horrid, ugly heap of yarn that was pretending to be a sweater received as a gift. But no longer. Today crocheting is chic. Instead of coarse yarn there is chenille, silk, mohair and so much more. Trendy groups are popping up and Sofia Coppola wrote it into 'Lost in Translation.'"
November 2004-Elle Magazine
"Crochet, Anyone? Crochet has come out of grandma's closet in a BIG way lately, playing a key role in some of spring's standout collections. And we're not just talking pretty girl cardigans or sweet circle skirts. No, the once demure craft has turned seriously sexy: witness Dior's sky-high stilettos and nearly everything on over the top designer runways. Would your grandmother approve? Hardly, but that's exactly the point."
