Crocheting is for Pirates!!!


(you can get this keychain pirate flask here)
I got a tad excited when I read this today regarding crochet:

"A pirate craft: originally crochet "stole" its ideas from the lace makers who chose to make crochet fabric from implements from other crafts: crochet is a pirate." ~from the book Crochet Lace by Pauline Turner

LOVE IT! ...I mean I don't buy into the idea that the original crocheters are unoriginal thieves (and I don't think the author does either), but just the idea of being a rebel and wielding a hook and yarn instead of a cutlass is highly entertaining.... especially on a magnificent ship....
daydreaming...
