Discover the big names who are hooked on crochet...
Aretha Franklin
'C-R-O-C-H-E-T, find out what it means to me...'
We have no idea whether the queen of soul plans to rework one of her
greatest hits, but we can confirm that she likes to crochet. She has
told a biographer: '‘I crochet. I’ve made a number of skirts, berets, various articles.’
Eva Longoria
Wearing her art, or perhaps craft, on her sleeve, Eva Longoria dons a
little lacy number. She told AskMen how she likes to crochet while
filming: 'When we do Desperate Housewives; you don’t have any
time in your trailer and you’re just constantly going back and forth. We
do 14 pages [of script] in a day. Then I would go to the movie, and it
was like vacation. It was more like two pages a day. I'd watch movies in
my trailer. I was crocheting.'
Bette Davis
For Bette Davis, art imitated life: she took her hobbies to work with
her, knitting on camera in several films, frequently between takes, and
crocheting some rather intricate lace throughout the 1940 film The
Letter.
Jane Seymour
Actress Jane Seymour, best known for Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman is an
all-round creative type and crochet fan, saying: 'I love to play with
colour and texture. Ever since I can remember, I've been making my own
clothes, embroidering, knitting and crocheting.'
Meryl Streep
Mamma mia! Another actress who likes to crochet between scenes. We know
this because one of her co-stars on Silkwood talked about it in an
interview. And who was that co-star?...
Cher
The co-star with whom Meryl Streep shared crocheting sessions on the set
of Silkwood was none other than Cher, who said about working with
Meryl: 'We’d knit, crochet, and joke about men.'
