Football Player who Crochets

[neenas3]

cool, ya know my husband offered to learn to crochet and do it with me if i will go to the shooting range with him more often. what a doll.

also, my new 15 year old stepbrother took crocheting as a elective in school and it really helped him learn to focus better--he is adhd.

Here is my reply from him.

 

(i wouldn't know the difference, but he called it a needle, so that's what I went with. Another guy here says his wife crochets and calls it a needle. .... Chadd)

I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm new here and thought it would be a great article for other new members to see, too. I'm sending my boyfriend the link.

 

Neenas3, that's a cool school your stepbrother goes to. I've heard that Waldorf School teaches knitting, but I wish I could have taken crocheting as an elective!

Thanks for bumping this up. I hadn't seen it before. Neat article.

I had never seen the article before this morning and I thought it was my duty to write to the reporter.....boy now who looks dumb, it's such an old article...

 

Oh well at least he knows that we don't let things like "crochet needles" slide no matter how old the article!

Can't believe I'm still getting these e-mails after six months, but as I told everyone at the time, I looked up crochet in a dictionary, and it said it was done with a "hooked needle." Plus, Ian called it a needle.

[LeslieJo]

I emailed him too. Reporters should be better-informed.

[CrochetCatskills]

I just emailed him also, boy his mailbox is going to be full even after all these months !!!!!

[mimi_mia]

LOL he'll never mistake crochet and knit again!! :rofl

[AidanM]

I can see it now..

"God, please make the crazy hook-lads and ladies from heck stop e-mailing me. I have learned to be a better fact checker. Don't you love me? Please, for the love of all that is good, God, make them stop. *sob* Amen! *sob*"

Well I sent a email to the writer and this is his response:

 

" I've gotten a bunch of these, and I've told all of them that when I looked up crocheting in the dictionary, it said it was done with a "hooked needle." Plus Ian called it a needle."
