Needlecraft Arts Interest Students
Grandma isn't the only one who loves to top over needed items, embellishing crochet. Such crafts are easy to learn and popular with young people too, but they look weird.
Many students have taken up needlecraft because they are proud of their skills. Terada, Hilo, Hawaii senior, said her specialty was crochet. She said crocheting things as gifts for her sister and given her much satisfaction.
She said she had tried needlepoint and didn't enjoy it as much because it was less practical and too longer. She told the therapist have been limited to pillows and wall hangings, she said.
She described needlepoint as a decorative stitch made with stiff yarn in evenly spaced squares on canvas. Crewel is similar to needlepoint except that it is used in a fabric instead of canvas, she said.
She said needpoint and crewel were easily learned from a book, but many students took essons to learn certain "points of
TERADA SAID that in the summer she would rather sew or embroider than crochet because a woman was too hot and heavy to handle.
MCKENNA SAID the objective of needlepoint and crew was to create a design with needle and thread, as an artist would do with paint.
Judy McKenna, manager of a downtown needlecraft store, agreed that crochet was more popular in the winter than in the spring or summer because people need to make things they could use.
McKenna said she had noticed a growing interest in needlepoint and crochet in the last six months. She predicted that needlework would be more popular in the upcoming summer months.
experience" that could not be learned from a book.
Susan Sheldon, owner of a local yarn store, said although interest in knitting and crochet had decreased with the onset of warmer weather, the popularity of weaving increased. She said the weaving classes she taught were closed for weeks in advance.
Sheldon said there seemed to be much enthusiasm among students to learn primitive ways of making material. Recently she workshops and natural dye workshops. Both classes were filled.
MACRAME IS an art that Irma
Leonard's graduate
student, enjoy the art
Macrame consists of various
knots tied in various ways with
pink yarn.
The effect can be varied by incorporating twigs, berries, beads or rocks into the design. The resulting designs can be made with macrae.
One of the more unusual things that Stephens has made is a lamphade. She is currently on a circular wallanging.
Stephens learned the art of macrane in private lessons through the Douglas County adult education courses.
EMBROIDERY is another popular form of needlecraft. Many students patch old jeans by embroidery the holes with colorful designs.
Jan Callaghan, 90th Centenial Drive, started embroidering for something to do while her husband was working nights. She went shopping and pleasured it, it was difficult and took much time and patience.

Some forms of needlecraft have been popular with men as well as women. McKenna said she likes to make the rugs interested in rug making. She said most rugs were made with either a latch hook, punch hook or needle loop. She said it is simple to make and the results can be quite beautiful, she added.
Books Examine Hollywood Czars
Two books about famous names in the movie industry, one of them famous in other areas as well, head the non-fiction department and the first is Noah Dietrich's HOWARD (Gold Medal, $1.30). The book capitalizes on the fame Dietrich acquired during the recent Oscar nominations and it's an extremely slight work. The book is really more about
Dietrich than Hughes.
Dietrich leaves one hanging, there 'Hells an Angel' malicious mail that he happened to it? He never tells us. Or to something called "Jet" magazine, later in the newspaper, finally put the Hughes biographers seem not to know. There are good tidbits, and one of their descriptions is a description of a memo Hughes
'The Visit' Depicts Horrifying Murder
Friedrich Durrennatt's "The Visit" will open under the direction of John Bush Jones, KU assistant professor of English at UMass Amherst, to tomorrow night, but this production of "The Visit" will not be the glamorous, elaborate play of the 50s, which starred Joan Fonney.
Jones has taken the playwright's original intention to design the play "after the style of folk-plays." The scenery and lighting are simple, not only because the plays are limited, because that's the way Jules thinks the play should be presented.
The storyline revolves around two characters, Anton Scholl, played by Steven A Gilmam, assistant instructor of sociology; and Claire Zachariaan, played by Jennifer Stuart, the structurer of speech and drama.
Claire, the richest woman in the world, had been played by Nicola Lewis and a cruel woman Jones has reverted to Dureneh's original name.

the other title is Mel Gussow's UNTIL PINCH TALKING (Limited Edition, $12.5). This is a biography of Darryl F. Zanuck, one of the giants of the big Hollywood era. He was born in Fox and before that an extremely bright young man at Warner Brothers. The career of Zanuck began with his first years, when he began to sink great amounts of money into super-bombs and to create star films for his current lady friends.
