A CLUSTER OF CROCHETERS

Jean Leinhauser brought up an interesting topic. What to call a group of crocheters...
She suggested:
A cluster of crocheters?
A skein of crocheters?
A shell of crocheters?
I'm going to keep track of this...I like making lists of things anyway, so why not!

Barb (Busha) suggested:
A clutch of crocheters

Perry suggested:
A knot of crocheters.
A frog of crocheters.
A harem of hookers. :)

Elaine in Pensacola suggested:
A cluck of crocheters

PattiJo suggested:
A bundle of croakers
She explains it: "...the "bundle" part refers
to balls or skeins of yarn...and Crokers? a combo of Crocheters and
Froggers"

Marti suggested:
How about a WIP of crocheters! After all, we are all WIP's, aren't we? (smile!)

Arianna suggested:
Happy Hookers

Kathie added her 2 cents:
A Chain-gang! ha ha ha
Ok seriously, how about a stitch of crocheters.

Linda came up with:
"Hook and Crook or Croch" "Crochet Magic Circle"

Jenny came up with:
A stash of crocheters

Or based on my great experience of CP

A counsel of crocheters

Or on a more retail base

A walmart of crocheters

A chain gang?

A loop of crocheters
A turn of...
A bobble of
A swatch of

oh this is fun and i haven't even had coffee yet!

A delight of...
A creation of...

Okay I have to stop and do some work now, I really do!

Laura came up with this::
a crush of crocheters

According to Roget's Thesaurus, "crush" is synonymous with gaggle, flock, herd, etc.

Pinka thought this was a good one:
CAS of crocheters

CAS = Crocheter Acquisition Syndrom

because we all know that each of us has a case of YAS,
TAS, PAS, HAS or whatever else has to do with crchet.
:-) :-) Not everyone admits it, but we all know the
truth. :-)

Judy thought this was appropriate:
How about a chain of crocheters? Each link of a chain makes a firm foundation of friends.

PattiJo cracked herself (and me too) with this one:
"A Crush of Cro-Ribbiters"

Ann in Phx had this to offer:
A craft of crocheters?
A croft of crocheters?
A bobble of crocheters?
(I'm partial to "cluster" of crocheters.)

Debbie offered:
A hook of crocheters

Narelle in Australia offered:
A company of crocheters

Pattianne came up with:
My own...
a flock of fiber nuts
a tangle of hookr's
a Skein of Hookr's

With Thesaurus assist by looking up 'group'~

crew of crocheteer's
coterie of crocheteer's (I like)

notice that one of the synonyms is "chain" didn't know it was one but appropriate for us

Thesaurus:
"group" accumulation, aggregation, assemblage, assembly, association, assortment, band, batch, battery, bevy, body, bunch, bundle, cartel, category, chain, circle, class, clique, clot, club, clump, cluster, clutch, collection, combination, combine, company, conglomerate, congregation, coterie, covey, crew, crowd, faction, fit-out, formation, gang, gathering, grade, league, lot, mess, organization, pack, parcel, party, passel, platoon, pool, set, shooting match, society, sort, suite, syndicate, troop, trust

My daughter Eva and I came up with:
A murder of crocheter's (as in a murder of crows) - they would all dress in black, crochet with black yarn and thread and watch alfred hitchcock movies.

Helen suggested:
CROCHET CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

Dee came up with:
Intergalactic Loopers (Mission: to bring Respect to Crochet)
The Million Musket-crocheers (all for one & one for all!)
The Million Stitch Marchers (to celebrate National Crochet Month:
March)
Captain Boye and Susan Mates (Aye!)
Thread Ticklers and Yarn Yodelers

"knot of crocheters"
