How did Tunisian crochet turn silly fashion ?

Porcine musical education is a waste of time.....

Just curious, Cheryl...why no skulls? Not meant as a criticism at all, I'm simply curious. Skulls are almost a staple decoration in the area of Norway that I'm in. DH bought me a kickass jolly roger hair barrette today.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Becky A.

These skulls aren't Jolly Rogers but part of the ultra heavy metal scene. I just don't like it and don't allow it.

Interesting, since Norway is the home of some awesome heavy/black/death metal. The skulls and stuff on clothes and accessories here don't seem have any immediate connection to that scene, though. There's one kid living nearby whose got a skullie shirt I'm itching to buy if I ever see one my size. DH's fav socks have skullies on them and my tattoo is of one (shh! don't tell anyone!).

Your house, your rules. We all have our own comfort zones. Becky A.

I tottaly feel with you Cheryll i would not allow such symbols. mirjam

And to bring the discussion full circle, my Tunisian crochet scarf is now 3+ feet long, and I'm doing a single-crochet border around the edges, then it'll be DONE! This is a narrow scarf done on a regular crochet hook in variegated yarn, so I don't hear it calling me for further embellishment. The soft shades of blue/lavender/pink/gray add enough interest. And the practice piece won't go to waste - I'll donate it to Central Maryland Can Too

After I finish this I'll go on to more exciting stuff - a BIG scarf in some luscious clunky wools, as was demonstrated on the TV show...now that I have the stitch down pat!
