Why Crochet?

Fancy meeting you here at our little corner of the internet! Here at My Robin’s Nest, we sell handcrafted crochet items—mostly shawls, scarves, and mantillas. Browse our gallery or the store to see pictures of beautiful crochet accompanied by bits of poetry, literature, and nature.
Although some stores sell products made with more exotic fibers, My Robin’s Nest primarily uses 100% cotton thread (with the occasional mix). We use cotton for several reasons: it is an economical fiber and it is easily washed. This makes it the perfect fiber for the adventurous soul.
What is crochet?
Imagine an individual sitting contentedly in a comfortable chair or at a favorite table. She selects a single ball of fiber (cotton, mohair, alpaca, wool...the selection is endless). Then, using a small hooked stick, she begins manipulating, twisting, turning, and looping that single string in a symphony of tiny hand movements until the string is shaped into the fabric she envisions.
This is no ordinary fabric; it is “handmade” in the truest sense. A story is crafted into the fabric: a missed stich that had to be taken out, countless therapy sessions with growing kids and drama; recitations of studies, maybe something drastic happened and the crochet went flying and the hook clattering to the ground, forgotten for the moment, all these memories go into the fabric of crochet.
The finished piece is admired by everyone in the house who can be compelled to admire it before it is modeled, photographed, and safely stored.
Why buy crochet?
