Years ago, I tried my hand at crocheting. My efforts lasted for something around thirty to forty seconds. Between the hook and the yarn, I was all thumbs. I learned at that time that I can unravel with the best of them, but stitching is not my thing.
For me, thirty or so seconds of crocheting proved
enough for a lifetime. Not so for Alessandra Hayden of Gig Harbor, Washington.
Back in early November, Alessandra shattered the Guinness World Record for the
longest marathon crocheting. Okay, “shattered” may be too strong a word for a
crocheting record. Let’s go with “piffed.” She piffed the world record.
Anyhow, to reach the new record, Alessandra worked
her yarn for 34 hours, seven minutes. After her long hours, she produced a
blanket. That’s at least more rewarding and practical than breaking the record
for placing snails on your face. If you want to take a run at that one, you
will need to place more than 43 snails on your face and keep them there for 10
seconds.
I am a little interested in that one.
