   My wife cross-stitches. I think that means she’s for Nader.

   Crochet for me too, left-handed. My poor mom was never able to teach me. I taught myself when I was on bed rest for my first pregnancy. Now I’ve taught my own daughter.

   My grandma both knitted and crocheted. But her generation learned for practical reasons, not as a political statement.

    I’m a multi-crafter — crochet, knit, cross-stitch and latch-hook — but I certainly don’t have the kind of free time necessary to simulate mushroom clouds or to knit bodysuits. Sheesh.

    Michelle – My first thought was, ‘When does Michelle have time to crochet?!?!’

    I can’t begin to figure out how you man the AP/UP wires, read other blogs including Hufpo, DU and Kos (bless your heart), go on FOX as often as you do, blog almost all day every day, read the comments, read your e-mail (which I would think would be a full-time job in itself!) and be with your family, etc. I’m sure I haven’t covered all of it. You’re amazing. God bless you.

    I belong to a website that is dedicated to needlecraft. They strongly lean towards knitters but they accept us crocheters (sometimes grudgingly)as well. The site has message boards for both pro McCain and for that other guy running. I am on a Nobama message board on that site and there are knitters and crocheters there but I have to say I think there are more crocheters that are pro McCain.

    I’m a knitter. There are many wonderful, kind, supportive, charitable knitters out there.

    The crafty blogoshpere is dominated by leftist crafters. I quit blogging because I got tired of the attacks. 2004 was a fun year.

    My bf in Iraq just received a hand knit blanket from me. It’s cold at night now and I’m helping to keep him warm. Many knitters and crocheters send handmade blankets to Iraq and Afghanistan. Bless them.

    Is the c word for feminists like the n word for blacks now? Black people call each other the n word, use it in music and promoting the gangster lifestyle while letting everyone know only they can use it. Feminists are going to run amok in their greetings to each other, what’s up my C? C please! Me and the C’s were chilling last night! Are they going to lose their minds if anyone else dares use the c word toward them?

    Geez. I’m building a wooden boat in my garage. My only dilemma is whether to put a little outboard on the back end or go with wood-fired steam power. I really like the little bitty steam engine with all the polished brass.

    Does that make me a Luddite?

    Basket weaving would be more appropriate for that bunch of loons. There’s political speech and then there’s name-calling. I gave up the latter somewhere in the 5th or 6th grade.

    Keep the screwdriver handy mom in case one of those screwballs shows up at your door.

    Wow…so hot, yet so incredibly stupid. And a proud little Communist to boot.

    However, I think it is so telling about who and what she is just by reading how clever and witty what she put on tha…outfit?…was. None of it made sense at all, and the fact that so many Lefties and Liberals feel that they need to be so incredibly vulgar in order to make a point speaks to the very nature of their souls; dark, empty voids that don’t hold an ounce of kindness to anyone but their own.

    Michelle,

    We all know that being a crocheter means you’re also a racist, assimilating, bitter wannabe who secretly wants to cross stich when no one else is looking.

    Your secret is out, Madam Hostess! HA!

    LOL….my grandmother knits and crochets…is that like she’s reaching across the aisle to unite people?

    I don’t know what it is about fiber arts that attracts loons. Quilt artists are mostly moonbats, too. Someone tried to put together an exhibit of election-themed quilts for the recent International Quilt Festival in Houston, and while they tried to make it bipartisan, there were only Obama quilts. Art quilt exhibits are also heavy on the “social justice” and “anti-war” crap, too (the 2004 and 2006 IQF had several Bush-bashing quilts; “racial justice” is a popular theme, too).

    I think there might be one or two conservative quilt artists, but their work is not political (landscapes, color studies).

    (One of my favorite quilters–I took a class with her in October 2004–went cat-poop crazy with BDS after Kerry lost; the quality of her work has really gone downhill. It saddens me.)

    As to that, I think it’s their general tendency towards iconoclasm. They see a stereotype–in this case, the elderly crafter with eight cats–and must destroy it! Though, I’m iconoclastic too, in this instance. I’m fresh out of college and only have two cats.
