Braids

Sassy just finished knitting a braided headband.

So, of course, this article  in the August 21st edition 

of the Daily Freeman caught her attention,

In the forties the child actress Margaret

O'Brien wore braids as she starred in "Heidi"

and in innumerable films as the quintessential

war orphan. She was unforgettable. Reruns of

her films still bring a tear to the eye.

In the sixties the actress Melissa Gilbert starred

in the role of Laura Ingalls Wilder in the television

version of "Little House on the Prairie." She

enchanted little girls with her long dresses, 

bonnets, and braids.

In 2012 Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen

in "The Hunger Games" has rejuvenated an interest in

braids.

Stylist Cliff Freeman "incorporates techniques

from crochet and knitting classes into braids..."

Well knitters... we are far ahead of our time in this game.

Perhaps, we should open knitting bars.
