Crochet-y

Crochet artwork. Some of it's a little violent. Some of it a little kinky (but SFW). Some is just a little...odd. But it's all pretty damn cool.

This is amazing, I love to knit so I understand how much work goes into the most simple hat. How nice it is to see kinky yarn. Thanks

This is pretty ingenious.

I foresee some avatar wars over at the knitting forums.

Looks like maybe the site is a bit overloaded? Next time use a coral cache of the site. Just put .nyud.net:8090 to the end of any domain, and it will load a locally cached version rather than throwing a load on the server.

I hate to say this, because I am always happy to see lots of crafty content here, but: double.

Wow, not only is this doubled post still open, it's received virtually no comments either way. I guess crocheting just isn't as hip now as it was in 2006.

Seriously. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like knitting and crocheting exploded as a fad from mid-2005 through part of 2006, then it disappeared or something. Is that a fair assessment?

All of the people I know who were knitting and crocheting in 2005 and 2006 are knitting and crocheting still.

I think it's mostly the media that's over it, rather than the participants, who are forming some pretty vibrant communities.
