| Something controversial or provocative about this subject The only topic of controversy connected with the world of crochet, is the plegerizing of patterns. There are crochet pattern clubs that will offer "new" patterns for sale, which are, in fact, more than 50 years old, and are now part of the public domain. While there is nothing illegal about this practice, it still raises questions of integrity. This is just my own personal opinion on the subject. | | Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Crochet has been called 'The Art of Tying knots', which is essentially true. It is quite extraordinary that from one single strand of #10 crochet thread, you can create everything from a coaster set, to a king size bedspread. | | What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Speaking to the matter of future acheivements, I think I would like to teach a class or write a book that could inspire young people to see the value of this inexpensive hobby, that gives its rewards in the satisfaction of creating, with ones own hands, a timeless piece of heirloom quality crochet work. | | What do you like about this subject? The art of hand crochet needs a means by which others who are interested, can make contact with a practitioner of the art. Books & videos are OK, but nothing can replace a real, live, human being to speak to. I don't want this beautiful art to cease to be for lack of someone who can/will reach out to newcomers. |
