Discussion Topic: Crochet

Yarn. Not that I crochet all that much any more, I've almost forgotten anything
but how to chain and single crochet, LOL. The few times I tried crocheting with
thread - even fairly 'thick' stuff, comparatively - I ended up feeling like I
was tangled in a spider-web. This can lead to turning the air blue and throwing
things across the room, in my case, at least.

Oh, and Allaya - buy up that white nylon! You can dye it! Whatever works on
silk should also work on nylon.

Hi Group!
What comes to mind when 'crochet' is mentioned? Do you think of
crocheting with YARN, or crocheting with THREAD?

I think of rags and heavy cord, sometimes yarn, and rarely thread.

I almost always think of thread crochet. As a matter of fact I just
finished the third thread doily in about three weeks and I'm paying dearly
for it. I have now developed a trigger finger which I'm hoping will go away
with rest. I think the tendon is inflamed because of the way I hold the
crochet hook.

I never found much use for yarn crocheted clothing unless I used very, very
thin yarn and wanted something lacy. Heavier weight wools always felt too
stiff. But I have used mohair types, or other very soft yarns, for afghans.

Yarn - definitely! Even if a pattern is for thread (like a doily)
I'll automatically think how it would look in yarn.

I guess I am different , when I think of crochet I think of different
fibers. Not just the size of the fiber being yarn or thread , but ,
the type as in wool , cotton , acrylic , mohair , alpaca or such. ie:
I am more apt to use lace weight wool than cotton thread for a doily .
I use all sizes and textures.
