Crochet probably descends from using a tambour hook without a net base for the thread.

It fits the evidence of when the first crocheted cloth shows up and who has the technology to make it.

Knitting and crochet require spinning technology to advance to the point where people can produce long single pieces of thread whereas weaving and naelbinding pull the whole working thread through.

Weaving uses shuttles to make that possible without tangling and naelbinding uses short threads.

Brief overview of history of craft stuff:

You don’t find many every day tools in archeology because people use them until they break and they aren’t valuable enough to be grave goods. That means we have to piece things together from fragments, art, written records and preserved fabric.

I have been... MIA. Work has been hellish, my elderly bunny left us, Maddie lost a fight... crochet took a back seat. But I have plans!

Penelope has no idea she is smol 🤣🤣🤣
Bunny bonding is going absolutely hilariously.

She's less than half his weight. Neither of them have any dignity 🤣

I saw that. Such a lovely idea but I'd never be able to crochet enough. Last year we ran out of candy three times before the end of the night. I kept having to go to the shops for more. Eventually just turned off the pumpkin lamp and closed the curtains. 😅

Have you ever seen the posts by the person who offers candy or a potato? Most kids go mad for the potato.

I guess novelty is exciting 😆

Haven't done much crocheting as Madeleine got a new friend. Well, Mac got a new friend, technically, but he's still grumpy about a new bunny in his home.

This is Penny. She is TINY. And very confused by the chickens...

And yes, that is specifically Madeleine in the video.

This is one of my favourite things I have made for me. Chuuya Nakahara from #BungoStrayDogs

He hangs from a keychain on my bag. Maybe I should make a little Dazai to terrorise him 😆

I've been sidetracked from my robin by the urge to learn yarn under #crochet. It only took me a few short rounds to get into the swing of yu/yo. Now I'm going to compare two ghost #chicken #amigurumi. This one is yo/yo. Now to start the yu/yo one. 🧶

Posting something cute for mutuals 🥺

My mum has bonsai and this pomegranate always gives tiny pomegranates (amigurumi Adar for size reference 🖤)

Now I've got a Halloween pattern sorted I was planning to start work on a Santa or Christmas Tree #crochet chicken. Completely forgot I had a robin prototype sitting around. They've been guarding our spare front door key for nearly a year. 🧶

Welp. Had to take a step back from #crochet for a few months due to health, family commitments, work rubbish... so I kinda forgot this place was here 😅

Back & with a last minute #Halloween #chicken pattern. Available on Ravelry, Ko-Fi, & Lovecraft's for £1!

Looking more and more like a fertility idol 😁

Wait... are we all being tricked into taking part in a fungus fertility ritual? Anyone keeping an eye on cordyceps populations??

After a week or so of time off crocheting (the day job has been BUSY), thought I'd buck a habit of a lifetime and get on a viral trend. It is a very cute trend.

What cap colour tho?

Currently looking a bit like a fertility idol... now there's a crochet idea 🤔😆

For the morning crowd... well afternoon crowd. Or evening crowd. Depends on what part of the world you're in.
