Have you ever heard of extreme crochet? You have probably seen photographs of whole trees or vehicles or even a whole room covered from top to toe in crochet, or sometimes knitting. But there is more extreme than that where the yarn is humungously thick and the item is large like a whole crocheted chair.

You wake up in the morning. You look out of the window. You see the snow that has fallen overnight and you say "ooh ecky thump! it's snowing! I think I will need a scarf today" You make your scarf while the porridge is cooking - and off you go to work thinking you look the bees knees in your new accessory.
