INTRODUCTION
About Linda:I grew up in a small town until the age of five.Living in the countryside was really exciting.I could walk a lot in the nature, have a lot ofanimals and be creative.
I remember my grandmother and my great-grandmother knitting nice hats, sweaters,and vests for me. All their friends were alsoalways busy creating lovely handcraftprojects. When I was four, I forced mygrandma to show me how to knit andcrochet. Here started my creative life.

3. Study Table
Art and Art History was always important forme. I was a member of the drawing and artgroup in primary school. In 2004, when I hadmy high school or gymnasium final exam,one of the main subjects was Drawing andArt History.
It is very important to learn the history of thetechnique before we start to create anyprojects. This step helps the participant torespect the effort needed to master atechnique.

About knitting in Danish
Strikning kan udføres så tæt og elastisk, at det bliver som et stykke stof og som etmønstret og gennembrudt arbejde, der af udseende er beslægtet med kniplingen.
Strikkede strømper hører man første gang om i Europa, da kong Henrik den ottende afEngland i 1547 får et par strikkede strømper foræret fra Spanien. Senere får dronningElizabeth den første et par af sin ”silkekvinde” i 1561. Siden brugte hun aldrig andet,mens de fleste fornemme folk i lang tid fortsatte med at bruge strømper syet af fløjl,damask eller lignende dyre stoffer. Når der lige her tales om strømper, skyldes det, atder blandt dronning Elizabeths efterladenskaber er et par med gennembrudt mønster,en strikning som langt senere skulle blive ret almindelig. Men på hendes tid synesman ellers at have foretrukket at brodere svikler på strømperne med guld og sølvtråd.

About crochet in Danish
Hækling, håndarbejde, der udføres med en nål, der har en krog i den ene ende.Hækling er formentlig en videreudvikling af tamburering, en form for broderi, derfremkommer, ved at trådløkker med en tynd krog trækkes op gennem et stoffastspændt i en ramme. Tamburering er en gammel orientalsk teknik, som vandtindpas i Europa i 1700t. Hæklekunsten, som består i at forbinde garnslyngninger til ensammenhængende flade, kan i Europa ikke spores længere tilbage end tilbegyndelsen af 1800t.
Industriens udvikling i midten af 1800t. medførte på mange områder et ophør ifremstilling af håndarbejder, der indtil da var blevet udført til eget brug specielt ibondebefolkningen; også luksusvarer, som tidligere var blevet udført i hånden, kunnenu forarbejdes industrielt. Samtidig opstod imidlertid en interesse for det egnsprægedeog nationale inden for håndarbejde. Thérèse de Dillmont (184690) udgav i Frankrig i1884 Encyclopédie des ouvrages de dames (Leksikon for håndarbejde), som blevoversat til bl.a. engelsk, tysk, spansk og italiensk og i alt er udgivet i mere end 3 mio.eksemplarer.

About crochet in English
According to American crochet expert and world traveler Annie Potter, "The modemart of true crochet as we know it today was developed during the 16th century. Itbecame known as 'crochet lace' in France and 'chain lace' in England." And, she tellsus, in 1916 Walter Edmund Roth visited descendants of the Guiana Indians and foundexamples of true crochet.
Another writer/researcher, Lis Paludan of Denmark, who limited her search for theorigins of crochet to Europe, puts forth three interesting theories. One: Crochetoriginated in Arabia, spread eastward to Tibet and westward to Spain, from where itfollowed the Arab trade routes to other Mediterranean countries. Two: Earliestevidence of crochet came from South America, where a primitive tribe was said tohave used crochet adornments in rites of puberty. Three: In China, early exampleswere known of threedimensional dolls worked in crochet.
