I think knitters and crocheters are both awesome. These are both crafts that involve so much skill. Both crafts produce beautiful articles. Yarn stores shouldn't be so snobby. My favourite yarn store caters to crocheters, knitters, corkers, everyone, it's great!

So I do three out of the nine (crochet, cross-stitch, and knit) and am learning a fourth (jewelry). Love it!

I wonder where Macrame is on the list. Does anybody remember Macrame ? I didn't do much but had a lot of friends in the old hippy days who did macrame wall hangings and plant hangers! And belts.I saw a broomstick lace pattern for a bracelet that would make a pretty belt in crochet , can't remember where , maybe here?
