What if they banned crochet ?

[Debbi-a1]

I know. I was crocheting a doily at lunch and lady asked me that. I just said, "I don't know..." She thought it was kind of funny.

I guess I would do other crafts but I don't think I'd feel as fulfilled.

If they banned crocheting, I'd just go on to one of my other crafts. The problem would come in if they banned ALL crafts.

[vonnie]

I guess if they banned crochet, I would become a lawbreaker!!! I will not quit crocheting for anyone!! No way, no how!!!!!!

[RoseRed]

I'd hafta go underground and hope I didn't get caught!

[DreamsOfYarn]

I'd hafta go underground and hope I didn't get caught!

 

I'd join you as an underground crocheter :lol

I can't give it up. When I broke my wrist I found a way to continue crocheting. I'd hate to think of a world with no crocheting.

[luvmnms]

I would be hiding in the closet ALOT!!!

[snugsmontreal]

i guess i would start knitting, but if they banned both there would be a lot more cold people here in winter i'll tell you that much!

[CrochettingMama]

I would be an underground crocheter too!!

I also have my needlepoint to fall back on in case I get bored with crocheting!! LOL

[lhasaapsolady]

Although I do other crafts, I could no way give up my crocheting. I would be breaking the law in a big way, just hope I wouldn't have to do too much hard time in the big house.

[Marty53]

I'd keep on crocheting....

[Trinket]

I would break the law!

 

Honestly, I can't figure any situations in which that would ever be the case, though. I guess if it really did happen for any reason, I would take up knitting.

[crochet_hen]

I would be in prison:hook

[sfgwife]

lets see I would buy tons of yarns before the ban and then stay at home more than I already do.

[funnymom8]

hmmmmmmm, I'd be an underground crocheter too! haha:hook I've always been kinda a rebel, so why not in my crocheting too--- (goodness, that is an awful thought tho, isn't it?) ..................................Lise

[Katchkan]

Ohh would I be in big trouble. There is no way I am giving up my addiction. Other crafts are fine but they just aren't the same.

 

So I guess I would be joining everyone in prison too. I hope they put us all in the same prison. Then we could unravel our knit sweaters sent to us by our loving families and hand crochet scarves long enough to escape.

Then we could start a crocheter rebellion. Down with knitting!!! Up with crochet....... !!!!!!

Oh excuse me, I got caught up in the moment..............

Who's with me?

[loopy1]

This is absolutely ridiculous and has caused me to get up on my ! That was insulting and it makes me !

 

What kind of person would ask a question like that! She must be a , , a:loser, I don't normally use this word but that's just downright a stupid question! The normal, natural thing to do is to ask you what you're making and say how beautiful it is, right?

 

That lady is no lady! She must be cruel and inhuman to say that! And then the unmitigated gall to laugh? I just don't believe it! I mean, really! hrmpgh!

 

Where are you? Is she asking for trouble! We're just all gonna have to come after her and give her some. :trymeYou better warn her! We'll all go after her with our . You guys with me?

 

Disclaimer Clause: If any of you take me seriously, I'll disclaim it! heehee!

 

But I really mean some of it! That was a ridiculous question! I do declare!

:rofl

We don't have to do any of that...we just have to go beat her up! I'm really not a fighting person, but don't be messing with my crochet!

[RoseRed]

Can we talk about it at the secret meeting? After we our handshake?

[loopy1]

No, No, No! No prison for us Freedom Crocheters! We'll never allow it to become illegal. You guys gotta adjust your thinking! Fight! Fight! Fight!

 

But I love what you said about unraveling the knit sweaters and crocheting scarves long enough to escape! :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

[loopy1]

Talk about what?

[ANGELICRUTH]

I'll join all of you in the underground crochet movement!! I'll build a secret hiding place for my stash so when the yarn police come they won't be able to find it! We can crochet "secret weapons" to use against the anti=crochet dictator that started the anti-crochet movement. We can wrap him up in crochet scarves to hold him and tickle him with fun fur "tickle sticks" till he gives in to our demands! If that dosen't work we can try plan B. Cuteness overload!! No one can resist the sweet little animals and baby things that we can crochet.------------heheheheheeeeeeeeeeeee

We'll rule the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oops ---- sorry I get excited------------

[Tinamah]

Will we meet in caves like the old speak-easys during prohibition?

[Sofia]

Oh let's not panic.

We can just give crocheting a different name ( what was the Scottish term that came up on another thread, or maybe in a different language... how do you say crochet in Polish) and just keep on creating wonderful stuff and getting our stress busting fix.

People ignorant enough to suggest banning crochet probably can't tell it from knitting or tatting or maybe even sewing.

 

I am not comfortable with suggestions about beating her up. I guess as a child of the 60's I would look for retaliation in a less violent mode. Can we flood her maibox with granny squares? Can we bury her under shawls and afghans?

It is nice to see so many people so passionate about their craft/art.

[V-Hooked]

I would probably still do it illegally at home!!!! But I don't thing I could just give up!!!
