The crossed sevens thing is weird in the US (and in Britain a little) because ones are usually a simple vertical line, but in mainland Europe is common for the 1 to be written with a "roof/rewf/ruff" but no base so it can look like a 7, so the 7 is crossed to differentiate.

That's how I sometimes write my 1's too, and that's why I sometimes crosses my 7's.
