These are postcards depicting people (women and girls) doing crochetwork. The first 3 postcards are my earliest ones, with the one titled "Sweet Content" postmarked 1912. On the left is a set of WWI "tricot" (French for knitting, but used as a generic term here, because the lady is actually crocheting) postcards.                                                         Again using "tricot" generically, more WWI French postcards depicting crochet. These cards date from the 1920s-1930s.     The first is a "Vive Ste Anne" postcard. St. Anne is the patron saint of domestic arts and most of the "Vive Ste Anne" postcards feature sewing machines, but this one depicts a lady crocheting with an afghan crochet hook.           Travel postcards sometimes depict crocheting.     Here are postcards from Brittany, France, the island of Malta, and Cyprus.
