Default Pronunciation question

CROCHET.
Now, I've always said and heard it as:

crow-SHAY. (and the crow part is more of a creh than crow) (didn't we call
that the schwaa sound in phonics?)

Here in TN, they say:

CROW-shay.

Which way do YOU say it?
Hugs,
Noreen

ever the one to come up with discussions, grin!

Back home in Illinois its "cro-SHAY", here in Texas I hear it both
ways and it is usually age-dependent - older folks call it CROWshay,
younger ones (like me, decrepit tho I am getting) call it croSHAY.

However, I have a nephew who is 6'4" and quite adorable who CROWshays
thread doilies. His g'gma taught him, and she CROWshayed, donchaknow.

I hear it both ways, too, Slinky. I live just south of Waco.

I usually say CROW-shay, but you're right - it may be my age and upbringing,
(since I learned to do the basic CROW-shay stitches when I was a child.)
But I find myself pronouncing it cro-SHAY on occasion, too.

No doubt the Yankee influence from those 3 years in Boston, LOL!

Hey Waco *wave* You coming down to Boerne next weekend for Kid-n-Ewe?
I'll be running a booth, will have a Bosworth DT (the first production
model, it has issues but it is a NICE little wheel) among other
tempting goodies. Lots of fiber, etc etc etc.

It's crow-shay for me and I've never heard it pronounced any other way.

Well, over on this side of the pond it's CROW-shay for us commoners,
while the upper class tend more towards CRAIR-shay. I call it crash-
s**t when it all gets too tangled ;-))
