Traditional Women's Crafts

Here's a "rag rug" I crocheted. It is 6 ft. by 6 ft. I made it from sheets and it took me a week during Christmas break

It's lovely! Are you going to block it? I have never blocked any of my pieces, I've always been too lazy.

Personally though, I've never seen the why of lace collars like that. They're beautiful, but I guess that it's just not something that I would wear myself.

Great job PetiteParisienne.

I may block it, but I'm not sure yet. Lace collars have no practical use! They're just pretty.

Traditional woman's crafts? I'll have ye know that my male forefathers who lived a frontier life in Appalachia afore we obtained our larger land holdings and served the Confederate Army, these men who knew how to cook, sew, and plant seeds, were no women. Tasks as these ought to not be so restricted to one gender or another.

Hell I even cook because I want to eat 'n I would cook for my female companion as I'd like to eat with her. Simple as that, I still have balls and a penis 'n I wouldn't demand that she cook as some duty to me, of course I'd eat if it was voluntarily made but ought to not insinuate that it is her obligation to do as such. Ain't got no want fer a Jemima, I ain't from South Carolina.

Oh dear. I didn't mean to give off the impression that men shouldn't do these things. Practical skills like cooking, gardening, and sewing are important for everyone.
