I have crochet envy.

And the photo is perfect!


Kuky said ... Oooh how fun!

Ok that's it. The project that pushed me over to try to figure out crocheting, finally. I keep meaning to learn but the drive just isn't strong enough. But yep. This did it. Let me go dig up my crochet book.

futuregirl said ... Blaize - You got me there ... I don't think I have the guts to wear it out. I totally would if you and I were going out on the town. Me with my arm band and you with Neville.


Hilde C. said ... I assume that the crochet revolution has to do with the fact that knitting has got a higher status than crocheting in the US. I can’t help but think that this phenomenon is so bizarre, at least seen from a Scandinavian perspective. The first time a read about this knit vs. crochet feud, I actually thought it was a joke, and I didn’t think any more about it. Then I read about it in Debbie Stoller’s book, The Happy Hooker, and I started to realize that this actually was a real thing. Later, I’ve read several places about people feeling they are unwanted in yarn shops etc. if they say they crochet. I still can’t understand this phenomenon. To Scandinavians, knitting and crocheting are just different techniques applied when making something with yarn. Both techniques have their strengths and weaknesses. Do you have any theories or explanations to why this “knitting is so much better than crocheting”-phenomenon exists in the US?


Fliss said ... Viva la crochet! This is fab! I think I want everyone to wear these at my funeral (don't worry - it's not pending).


Elizabeth said ... Hey that's a really cool looking armband. Heck, you have been super crafty-busy. Right arm! (haha- like Right on, but right arm---haha. I crack me up.)


Elizabeth said ... Ok, so your band is on the left arm...but still...Right arm!
