I pronounce it CROW- shay.
-- Star love, Norma "AlenasMom" wrote in message ble.rogers.com... craww-chet... just kidding... I say cro-SHAY too. "Noreen's Knit*che" wrote in message ... 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.

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! - Lynne D. "SlinkyToy" wrote in message ... 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.

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. On Thu, 30 Oct 2003 20:36:47 -0600, "Lynne" wrote: I hear it both ways, too, Slinky. I live just south of Waco.

CrowSHAY, partly because of the French influence in New England. But I know a Lancashirewoman over here who pronounces it CROTCHett. =Tamar |

I have a book called, "A pronouncing Dictionary of American English" but the
descriptions use the international phonetic alphabet so I can't convey what it says. If anybody's seriously interested, I'll post the description on the pictures site together with the Oxford Dictionary's version of how 'crochet' should be pronounced. Personally, I don't believe that it matters, as long as the listener can understand what's being said. Differing pronunciations add colour to a language. Cheers, Martin (being crotchety!)
