I have a friend who is a crocheter. He's seen a few interesting laces.

2. bullshit. there are no male crocheters in Ohio

you lie. you lie like your 'friend's' doilies.

3. I lived in SoCal for ten years. My friend still lives, and crochets there

4. SNAP!

[northzax]

10. er, even less realistic

why would you crochet in Southern Catalonia? it's a little warm.

But i'll give you points for your McLargeHuge.

5. That's not crocheting.

If made by hand, it looks much more like tatting or possibly, actual lace which involves bobbins, not crochet hooks...

9. The potential for a flame war in a thread about doilies. Who would've

thought it possible?

6. Nice for him that he crochets

But those pictures are Battenburg lace and have nothing to do with crocheting.

11. Happy now?

[China_cat]

12. Much better.

Us lace makers can be pedantic about our craft.

16. So can crocheters.

Got any ribbons laying around?

[China_cat]

17. No, but see, I also crochet, knit and tat.

Knit

Crochet


Tat

18. You're much more versatile than I am.

Those are really pretty. Have you considered finding a county or state fair and entering something? I'm especially envious because I couldn't learn to knit, it was too difficult.

I specialize in afghans made from afghan stitch with cross stitch on top, but I do crochet other afghans.

19. Hehehehe...I'll do almost ANYTHING to get out of housework :)

22. Its certainly a lot more fun than mopping, dusting, and

cleaning. :)

24. Those are gorgeous!

8. I have a copycat-thread-saver for you

you could change the name of this thread to "Calling all Knitters", which would make it technically correct and would also copycat "Calling all Quitters." just trying to help man:)

[ohiosmith]

14. Good one!

[cornermouse]

15. Actually there is a difference between knitting and

crocheting. Different tools, different techniques. Not to, er, "flame" anyone or anything...

[ElectroPrincess]

13. Cross Stitch Mahn! ... Now that's great fun and

real pur-dy too. <g>

20. Tit for tat...

My great grandmother tatted lace collars like this one.
