You love it and that's the important thing. You craft unique and creative items that feed your soul and demonstrate your love for others.<BR><BR>People try to make themselves feel important by belittling or excluding others. It's wrong, it's stupid and it's hurtful. You, however, are not. I will probably never like crochet - it doesn't inspire me. But I like and am inspired by you and your commitment to your preferred needlecrafts.<BR><BR>Hope you get some sleep and don't apologise for expressing your feelings on your blog.Taphophilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04010309734967633575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156196178932753360.post-248939662432447442007-11-17T07:48:00.000+11:002007-11-17T07:48:00.000+11:00You know, I've actually been surprised at the wars...You know, I've actually been surprised at the wars between crocheters and knitters on Ravelry and the knitting daily site. <BR><BR>I don't understand why people with the same passion (to create beautiful objects with yarn and stick/s) can hate on each other so much. <BR><BR>I just had a thought though - men have been doing this for years.

Meanwhile, please keep posting - I don't get to see much crochet, and like seeing more modern items on your blog.

But then I know, there are idiots and thoughtless people everywhere. It's ridiculous. I think it's especially silly given that that KD article, if it's the one I think it is, was trying to address the idea that crochet is no good for garments because of drape, and I thought it was very interesting.Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11004330801357642994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156196178932753360.post-45384182136345452052007-11-19T11:08:00.000+11:002007-11-19T11:08:00.000+11:00Live and let live.

To tell the truth, I prefer crochet in soe ways - less likely to drop stitches, and pulling out mistakes is half the effort. I love all the lovely stitches you can make - and the difference it makes to use 1mm hook and thread, and then using wool and a big hook.<BR><BR>Enjoy what you do<BR><BR>Janet McKinneyJanet McKinneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07215828743503027341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156196178932753360.post-5351399749125995882007-11-19T21:16:00.000+11:002007-11-19T21:16:00.000+11:00I love crochet!

They are different from one another, but equally viable fibre arts. And hey, do you not have crochet mags over there? We have LOADS here.

I've been knitting since 7 and crocheting since 14 and love 'em both.<BR>btw I agree with you on the Radiant. It's now on my to-do list. My only concern is the edging looks a bit skimpy to me. I feel that it needs another row or some picots or something, but it may just be their photo. I'll be interested to see how yours fairs. It's looking sweet at the moment :]catsmumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01953101594940806384noreply@blogger.com
