Let me tell you, crocheting isn’t just for Grandma in her rocking chair and it’s not just for women either! Real men, they crochet too. I remember when I was about 10 years old, there was a boy I went to school with. He was the kind that always played sports and got into trouble. The typical boy as I would like to call him. But guess what, he crocheted too, and better than I did! There’s even top crochet designers who are men, Drew Emborsky, to throw out a name. Plus plenty of men crochet groups and crochet books just for men.

So for all the people, who always ask me whether men crochet, the answer is yes!

Do you know a man who crochets?

Heart burn, rug burn…let’s talk about yarn burn! You know when you hold your yarn and it drapes over your finger when you crochet, sometimes you may get yarn burn. I’ve never got yarn burn before, but Ana (a Crochet Spot reader) told me if I or anyone else ever got yarn burn, you should make a finger cozy.

Here is what you do to make a yarn burn preventing finger cozy:

1. Make a foundation chain that is long enough to wrap around your finger.
2. Slip stitch into the first chain made, forming a loop.
3. Single crochet around, until the cozy is the length you desire. You can either crochet in a spiral fashion or chain 1 before each round of single crochet.

According to Anna you should use about 1 skein of cross stitching floss. This way its not so big and bulky and your finger doesn’t feel like its on a diet.

Do you suffer from yarn burn??

Let’s face it, everyone is different. But the way I see it, there are 3 types of crocheters. The ones who need things done fast, the ones that have patience or the ones that can care less. Which one are you?

The “I Need Instant Gratification” Crocheter

• Needs projects done fast for instant gratification.
• Get it done in one sitting or never get it done at all, that’s my motto!
• Doesn’t have the time or the patience for huge projects.

The “Slow and Steady Wins the Race” Crocheter

• Has a ton of patience!
• Loves making blankets and other large items.
• Can work on a project for months and still not get bored of it.

The “I Can Care Less” Crocheter

• Can care less if the project is large or small.
• Makes what the heart desires, no matter how long it takes.
• Has patience, yet still enjoys the boost a small project gives.

Personally, I’m the “I Can Care Less” crocheter. If there’s something I want to make, I’ll make it no matter how big or small it may be or how long it’ll take me to make it. But of course I can always appreciate the satisfaction small ones give!

What type of crocheter are you?

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Lisa Gentry (shown to the right) holds the title of the world’s fastest crocheter. In 2005, she broke the record at the Michaels Arts and Crafts Store in Monroe, LA. She crocheted at the speed of 170 sts/min, which is almost 3 stitches per second!!! She used TLC Essentials yarn and created an 8″ mega flower (very similar to my Crochet Flower Pattern: Carnations) while she was being timed.

I don’t know about you but I consider myself a slow crocheter and only in my dreams would I be lucky to crochet 3 stitches per second! What about you? Do you crochet fast?
