Does anyone do Shirred???

I goofed big time here I think. I spelled the specific kind of crochet this is when I posted but it was changed to the word shirred. The original word is a cross between shirred and crochet. It is basically a rug making craft. I did not mean to break any MYLOT rules by mentioning the specific kind. I now suspect that it is a very copywrite protected craft and that we will not be allowed to discuss it. Sorry all.

Had posted before I saw this bit, I don't believe there is any restriction on mentioning brand names, so maybe the system is just glitching. After all, you can type Coca Cola, Pergamano, Lego etc without error, and they are all big brand names. Try again!

oh, okay, I will try again here. It is called ShiRRet. I wonder if I had hit spell check and it corrected it to shirring and I didn't catch that. As a poster further down said---shirring is a method of gathering and that is part of this process. It also involves crocheting the shirred strips together- and that is the part I can't figure out. I am just not sure it is worth the money to buy the book and special hook for it. I probably will buy it, as it will drive me nuts to not know how to do this. LOLOLOL, anyone else have that particular character trait??? Just HAVE to know how to do something===even if I never do make any use of the knowledge?

It is more than just the shirring, though that is part of it. I understand from a couple of things I have read that this shiRRet was also big in the 70's, and I can't for the life of me figure out how I missed it back then. Thanks for the link on shirring.

Halcyonyarn.com sells a hook for what they call shirrit. Hope this will help
