Jokes -- Funny Crochet Riddles, Jokes and Terminology

Clean Jokes only (no lye soap necessary).

1. What is a yoyo?  A yoyo is when the hook and the yarn dance the tangle!

Seriously:   Yo is a crochet term which means yarn over.  The yarn is NOT coiled over the hook for single crochet (sc), coiled once for double crochet (dc) and twice for triple crochet (tr), before inserting the hook on specific stitch.  Please click link below to see video tutorials:

2. How did the hook sing to the  yarn?  Strand by me......

Seriously:  I like this song,  "Stand By Me".  This is one of my favorites.  Please click the link below and listen:

Seriously:  Please find the definition of the word "strand" here:   The yarn itself can also be called a strand.

3.  A man and his wife had a big fight over her ever-growing stash of yarn and the man wants to get rid of all  the yarn.  If the stash of yarn can talk, what would they say to the wife?  I would like the readers to figure this out.

Seriously:  Please learn more about yarn weights and its many different varieties here

Light Hearted Humor  About Crochet Instructions and Crochet Designers:  These puns are directed towards me and not to the professional Crochet Designers out there--it is a good form of release for me in my attempts to write  readable crochet pattern instructions.

4.  Why do crochet instructions always have asterisks * * in them?  Because if it's not asterisk, the designer could have used some other symbols that stand for unprintable words!!!

Seriously:  * * (asterisk) in crochet, means that any instructions between two asterisks  is to be repeated so many times as specified by the instructions.

5.  Crochet designers can't spell and do proper grammar.  Why?  because they are too busy ripping and repeating the same stitch over and over again!!!

6.  What are the three favorite words of Crochet Designers?   Repeat (rep), skip (sk), next (nx).

Seriously:  Read something about one of my favorite designers here

Crochet -- Changing Colors Without Breaking The Yarn

This is a photo of the scarf that I've done in Continues Technique with color changed between rows and motifs joined row by row without breaking the yarn.  The apearance of the scarf edge can be further improved by adding another round of edging using one of the colors only all around the scarf.

This photo shows another example of the same Technique as mentioned above.

Diagonal Box Stitch Cowl

Pattern will be available soon on my private blog.  If interested in viewing the pattern, please email me (zoecglover@gmail.com) so I can include you on the list with the names of people who can view the blog.

Thank you:)
