Metta, I laughed so much at your crocheted gift for your Dad!!!

For me, I will not crochet:
- antyhing related to the toilet
- doilies (sorry, they show up the dust too much)
- teapot cosies (they gave crochet a bad name!)
- baby clothes in vile, garish plastic-looking acrylic yarn

I will never crochet one of those plastic bag holder dolls. I mean, seriously…. you are shoving bags up her rear, and then pulling them out. Weird.

Back in the 80′s when my father had prostate cancer, he had the choice of taking female hormones daily or having his testicles removed. Since he was in his 80s he chose the latter, though he was very depressed about it. Well, I crocheted him a set…very lifelike, too, I must say! they had a little chain stitched string which could be tied around the remaining naughty bit. When I gave them to him, I told him that since he missed them so much, I made him a pair! He cracked up and showed them to every hospital worker who came into his room for any reason! They all loved it! I’ve always believed the old slogan, “if you get dealt lemons, make lemonaide!”

I will never crochet a bedspread, or a doll, or any kind of “cozy” other than a can cozy or a soap saver.

Back in the 60′s (oops, dating myself here), gals were crocheting covers for their boyfriend’s private. I WILL NEVER crochet one of those. Enough said. Love your web site and blog.

A bedspread or tablecloth in thread. OOOHHHH NOOOO!!!

As for the other items, I can see your point, except for Heidi, I LOVE tea cozies, maybe since I love tea pots and actually use them??

Oh well..as long as you’re crocheting something!

I have crocheted and sold so many tp covers and tissue covers, people love them. I’ve been doing bazaars for 30 yrs now, and they are some of my best sellers, I guess, for the ones that wouldn’t,….. you just haven’t seen the right pattern yet.

I wouldn’t make a bikini that I have seen several patterns or photos of. First, I don’t wear them, second if I did, even though not sew-talented, I would only wear or give one that is sewed with fabric, not crocheted with yarn.

Re the nose warmer/cozy… I made a slightly longer one to be worn farther south, in my grandson’s high school colors. It was the hit of the football locker room. There was even a little tassel on the end. Sandy

All of the above, plus never again an afghan in the Texas summer, or any time an amigurumi with all those little pieces.
I did make a tampon (for laughs) it had my granddaughters rolling on the floor! Sandy
