Did you know that crochet CANNOT be made by machine. All crocheted items are made by hand, therefore all the "inexpensive" crocheted clothing, home accessories, decor, jewellery, and shoes, yes shoes, are made in sweatshops for little to nothing.

My thoughts.........

Food for thought as they say, this is a fact?(not sure)

but something that I have never considered!!!!.

A knitting machine a knitted stitch, similar I hate to say, some knitting so neat
that people just imagine that it was machine knitted (hey Angela with the dolly dress?)

But that all crochet is hand made..........
