Second Pattern for Today
Both of today's patterns are a little over ten inches wide. They call for 1/4" thick wood but you can substitute as needed.
During the pandemic searches on Google for "crochet" rose dramatically. That trend has continued and the popularity is as high as ever.
I searched for "Is crochet popular today?" and these were the results.
Today, according to Pinterest, crocheting has become the most pinned trend on the platform, leading the charge with around 317,000 pins compared to “cutout dresses” which comes in at second place with just over 88,000. Unlike back in the '70s, crochet isn't just a weave technique to pull a garment together.

There are many "crochet" videos on YouTube. Here is one that goes over the basics.
Visiting the Kentucky State Fair Today
Patty, her sister, Andrea, and I will be taking a short trip across the river to visit the Kentucky State Fair today. It has been a few years since I have been and I am looking forward to it. We will spend most of our time indoors looking at arts and crafts but one of my favorites is the livestock barn.
My dad was a rabbit breeder. We always had a bunch of show rabbits in a garage out back of our house. Back in the early '60s, he was a rabbit breeder of the year. We often traveled around the country to conventions and shows. He had shown rabbits at the Ky State Fair many times. After he passed in the mid-'60s I always visited the fair for nostalgic reasons. My mom says they gave out a Burch Good award for best breed after he passed.
So I will visit the rabbit pavilion today and probably have a few tears in my eyes. It has been 57 years since he passed and I still miss him a lot.
