Thanks for reading Deanna. Yes, I thought that line was pretty clever too. It seemed to get to the heart of both matters I was going for: the comedy and the actual crochet terminology. LOL.

Gerald, I thought your version of the alien life snatcher learning how to crochet was given a life because of it was humorous. Well done. LF6. I enjoyed this very much.
