Crochet vs Knitting
When you hang out on Ravelry for a while, and when you crochet in public, you quickly learn that many people assume that if you are doing something with yarn you must be “knitting”. Apparently there is a knitting vs crochet divide – not that I’ve particularly noticed it here in Australia, maybe it’s a cultural thing specific to the USA, where most Ravellers are from. Anyway, I recently came across these YouTube videos – just hilarious!
Wooly Bullies: The Underground Crochet Movement and its Place in the Yarn Craft World
Another giggle this week came from Frogdancer via this post. Very entertaining!
Lara, this is just too funny – I’m a hooker!
You are right! The Wooly Bullies video is hilarious! I am a crocheter who tried to knit because I thought I should. I gave up and I’m proud to be ‘just’ a crocheter. I love in the video when the crocheter says she “came out as a crocheter”. hahaha
hey there lara…..
i have to say i do both …… they both have a place in my wool bag the first video is so so funny!!!!! thanx for sharing x
LOL i do both. this is hilarious!
(btw i lurk here a lot i really love your blog!)
I’m a knitter.
I think crochet is nothing but an urban myth…. how can one single hooky thing make yarn hang together? It’s clearly impossible.
I think you all just pretend to ‘crochet’ things when you’re in public, then you go home and quietly knit them up.
I think we crocheters probably are the black sheep, but I’m happy with that 🙂
And the three links – hilarious!
Too funny!
@ Karli I’m a crocheter too and proud of it! Darn it!
Knitters vs Crocheters… can’t we just all get along… and band together against the scrapbookers???? LOL
