Stay away from these people - crotchet sharing is an absolute cesspool of
intellectual property piracy.

LOL Actually I may have to retract my comment as crochet needles are
sometimes made of metal are they not?

Yep - the crochet hook can be deadly - years ago, as a young hippy, was
visiting friends - the lady of the house sat on one, (the barbed end of
course) - it was interesting getting it out of her arse, to say the
least. Still remember the pattern on her underwear........very nice....

It's sexual humor, Nick. "I saw, I conquered, I came."
Think about it for awhile. I'm sure it'll cum to you.

You're thinking of "Quilting" -

For those who don't know what Tom was referring to, it's when people
break a CD into small easily downloadable chunks. The downloader then
reassembles the chunks into a complete CD - quilts them together.
e.g. Machinery's Handbook was mentioned here at one point in the last
year as being available free in quilted form.

Hmmm, I thought he was referring to the practice of sharing
copyrighted patterns, which actually does happen a lot.

Hadn't heard of breaking up & reassembling CDs as "quilting". You
learn something new every day!

As Mike says, I was referring to the widespread practice of sharing
copyrighted crochet patterns. These little old ladies would almost make
video and music pirates look like good citizens in comparison, so I've read.
And they get away with it, with impunity. After all, who's going to
prosecute someone's granny for posting copyrighted material on the web site
that she had her grandson build for her, and sharing it with any other
little old grannies who want to download it?

I tell ya, it's a war zone out there ;-)

Oh, I don't know. I can do some fairly neat things with a forge, hammer,
and anvil; braiding, pattern welding, etc, and a friend of mine made
metal "textiles" in one of his jewelry courses.

Might be hard to hold the crochet hook doing it with hot steel though.

Let's see: Two single crochet, one double, another two single....OUCH!

Knitting maybe? There are machines that do that. Sorta.

Try it with 28 ga. copper wire. You have to keep annealing it with a torch,
and oiling it.

You think I'm joking, don't you? Try doing a lanyard braid while you're at
it. Heh, heh...

Ok so now this is the crochet .metalworking group.
If you can get a bridgeport to crochet then I will be severely impressed
Speaking of which
Has anybody see that special on PBS called Animusic? Seriously cool
animation set to kinda soft rock music. Freakin impressive

Or clean up the end of a 2" cable that was cut and needs an eye.
Sewing and Knot class would have been nice to have in High School.

Did you mean "crochet patterns" or "crochety patrons?'

There are certainly a large number of the latter here......
