Crocheted hats, scarves etc. I refer to myself as a hooker so have no problem with the name being slightly, er, risque!
Thoughts, please?

Give you a clue-Phil and Kirsty ranked us bottom.
Another clue-we have a transporter bridge, one of only two in the UK.
Clue three-we gave the world Chris Rea, Brian Clough and Amelia Lily. Oh, and Paul Daniels. If it helps, we're really sorry about two of those!
Anyone got it yet?

Are you putting the rough in Middlesbrough? Grin

DrSeuss · 14/11/2013 19:59

Well done! That's us. Smoggies, we're called. DH and I aren't natives but the kids are.

Don't know if someone has said it already but if you are going to have a website looking on sites like - go daddy should help you find a name with an available domain.

Rather that then you settle on a name that is taken. Smile

DrSeuss · 14/11/2013 20:06

Thanks, Bubalou. That is useful advice.

Something along the lines of Woven Whimsies, or Whimsical Weaves (this sounds like you make wigs though!). It needs work, but I like the reference to your pieces being a bit more whimsical than the norm.

Minion · 14/11/2013 21:41

Yay for smoggies!
Yarn in yarm?
I've got the husband, a fellow smogmonster thinking on. He's normally quite good with these!

FTRsGotAShinyNewNN · 14/11/2013 21:46

How about 'The Yarm Yarn' (not sure where in smoggie-land you live and I know Yarm is more Stockton)

I do like the crochety lady too Smile

DrSeuss · 14/11/2013 22:46

Minion- tell the Smoggie DH that I'm currently between Yarm and Stockton. I work on the coast but not quite far enough south to be in Woollyback country! Woollyback could work as a name in other regions but not here! We use it the way the Irish use Kerryman and the English talk about the Irish!

'Canny crochet' would add in the north east connection

rabbitlady · 14/11/2013 22:56

cosy crochet.

LimitedEditionLady · 14/11/2013 23:09

Does this make sense...
