Crochet in Jamaica

Here is an interesting article I heard about from another list:

Very interesting, although I do wish they'd showed more photos.

 

On a side note, I liked how they wrote out the 'Rastaman's' dialect.

2000 dollars?! What kind of yarn are they using?!

Maybe it's a misprint or maybe it's Jamaican currency or they're using, hmm, spun gold?

Whatever it is I wish I could get my hands on some, it must be pretty nice stuff!

Thanks for posting that link...as a J'can, I can confirm that $2,000 is J'can currency and converted it is only about 32USD...sucks for the locals who have to work so hard to earn so little...
