I say this all the time on our board on Ravlery.com, but we crocheters know we are cool. We know that we make cool, funny, funky, beautiful creations.
But do we? I find on occasion there is a talented person out there who just doesn't know that they are indeed truly gifted.
That's one of the reasons I started blogging photos of other people's wonderful creations.
Crochet can be bumpy, lumpy, smooth and sweet.
There are no limits in crochet. It doesn't matter what "conventional wisdom" may say, because frankly the powers that be...whoever "they are" tend not to know all that much about the subject.
The mission of the CLF is free the hook. Free us from persecution, free us from myths, and enable those who wield the hook to feel proud of their work and their wider community.
ABOUT THE CLF
- Fearless Leader of the CLF
- Everywhere, No where
- I started the CLF as a joke on Ravelry, back in July of 2007. The joke was on me, we're a real group, that seeks to liberate ourselves from stereo types about our craft and ourselves. Other than being called "Fearless Leader", I'm a designer, mother, editor, wife, hand spinner, yarn addict, incessant reader, and over all geek in the coolest of geeky ways.
Beware Defamers of the Hook!
