Joan Rivers Crochet Hooded Cardigan with Bracelet Sleeves

 

I wonder why they are calling ths crochet.  It's definitely a machine knit piece.

 

If you look closely at the piece - you can see knits and purls.  David even pointed out the "purls" yesterday,  There are no knits or purls in crochet.

Many people do not know the diff between knit and crochet.

And there was no one left to speak out for me....

There was another OP the other day too.

 

Pretty surprised someone in manufacturing/ordering didn't spot this.

 

Lots seem not to know, even fewer can tell tatting from crochet 🧶

Definitely!  

 

A friend asked me if I knitted the sweater coat I was wearing.  I said I made it but that it was crocheted.

 

She then turned to another friend and said:  "she knitted that herself."

I was pretty surprised that David didn't know the difference.  I thought he was involved in the creative end of the line.

Pribably the same person wrote that description who also recently described a pair of 28" pants as "crop pants".  I had to cut 2" off and hem to make them ankle length.

@ALRATIBA QVC's item descriptions are frequently incorrect and completely unreliable.  Looking at the pictures and video is essential for shopping here.

I did this to you too.  I didn't mind when you corrected me!

This top looks like cut and sew machine made embroidery to me.  Hopefully the links will survive.
