Fun Crochet Phrases?

[Avon Lady]

These are the ones that came to mind. I might have heard some and not remember but I think most are originals. Still, they are so common, I'm sure others have thought of them before me.

THIS IS FUN!!! Now I wish I had a Yarn Shop to name!

 

These are great!! Years ago, our little town actually had two shops with these names: A Stitch in Time, and The Hook Nook! And we named our crochet club at our Senior Center "Froggers Crochet Club.

Hooking 4 a Living

[darski]

I forgot a phrase on one of my bags ... crocheting is 3% talent and 97% not being distracted by the internet...

 

:fameAnd we have a winner!!!!!!

 

Sorry but this one just spoke to my heart ;rofl

A ball in the hand, is worth two in the basket!

Frayed Sew. Frayed knot,

I'm frayed of knotting.....

Only thing a sheep has, tht i don't have is hooves.

Saw this on a project bag not too long ago. A bit to the point but:

I Crochet So I Don't Kill Anyone!

[LaceAngel]

How about :

 

A hook in time, saves nine?

 

(remember the old sewing quote: a stitch in time, saves nine)

[cupcake]

darski I agree, think it is a cultural thing,

 

how about "by hook or by crook"

 

I also like the "I crochet so I dont kill people"

 

my other saying is "crochet is my yoga"

[purples]

- "I thrive on chain reactions!"

 

- "Y-A-R-N" I'm singing "Y-A-R-N"

Thank you for accepting my apology and for letting my "edited post" be allowed. I was out of line, but I won't let it happen again.

"I just want to crochet beautiful things even if nobody cares!"

"I crochet because I am smarter than you"

"Just say you love it and shut up!"

"I crochet because it brings out the best in me."

My favorite crochet term is Frogging.  Been crocheting for years but only recently heard this term.  Love the explanation I found explain that the term came from rip-it, rip-it, the sound a frog makes.

I also like the term yarn barf, for those clumps of tangled yarn that pull out from the center of the skein, or the mess you get when you try to find the end, hidden in the center of the skein.

Those annoying clumps of fiber that make the yarn lumpy, or the joins that you find in the middle of a skein, I call boogers.'

When my cat decides that my WIP is the purrfect place to take a nap, I say my project has been kitnapped.

I like all the crochet phrases in this thread!  And--as I mentioned before--we named our crochet club "Froggers Crochet"!  We really get a lot of comments about that name!

Oh!  By the way--welcome to Crochetville!!
