Morse Electrophonic Disco Stereo from the mid 1970s. Light display on these units was synchronized to the music with a few channels that were tuned to different frequency bands.

If I could turn back time…

Nostalgia Radio, 9 new interlocking crochet/double filet patterns, is out is now. 67 pages composed and composited by me, a doddering human intelligence from the 1900s. $10-15 sliding scale, or it's already in the Vault for subscribers.

This collection includes the largest and most complex patterns I've written so far (see the ludicrous Reel-to-Reel), but also beginner-friendly motifs like the MP3 Player and Boombox, which require only a bit beyond granny-square-level crochet skill.

So yes. Buy these patterns, print them out (do it at work, quit), throw all your Internet-connected devices in a lake, and spend the next however-many years crocheting gramophones.
