I can so sympathize with this post on a crocheter's pet-peeves. It really drives me crazy when someone asks what I'm knitting ("nothing." I answer, "I'm crocheting") another one of my pet-peeves is when someone tells me that knitting is prettier than crochet.

I have seen many of my doilies that I have given to friends displayed on a table or stand with the roses clearly showing the back side. Then I think oh well, if they cannot tell the difference it must also look pretty good on the back too. And I will agree about the doilies on ebay selling so cheap.

Someone once told me that no doily was worth more than $20 Argh! I also hate when you use the correct gauge and the pattern says finished size will be 17" and you can barely squeak it out to 12" after blocking.

As for the upside down rose, my wife (who has been crocheting longer than I) often get back from front mixed up but I think even she would be able to pick that one.Richard Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815522674511426941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34470593.post-823092817411502272011-06-06T22:31:18.249-05:002011-06-06T22:31:18.249-05:00lol I too can relate, it is sometimes irritating t...lol I too can relate, it is sometimes irritating to hear that familiar, oh are you crocheting? I brought my crochet to to a Super Bowl party at a club's member's house. Since I do not care for football but love the commercials I felt it a good time to catch up on a project.

Goes to show most editors do not know the craft. I don't sell on ebay because most of the doiies are priced to cheap and it makes it hard to get even your thread price back if you use good quality thread.
