Way back when, I used to crochet and knit a lot, but then life got busy and needles, crochets, and yarns ended up in a bin in the "clutter" closet. A few years ago, my granddaughter showed interest in crochet, so we dug out the bin, and as she started learning, I restarted long forgotten projects, like blankets and stuffies.

In one of my crochet groups, I came upon this pic (I don't need a license to carry my 9mm). Come to think of it, a crochet would make a great weapon. It's small and light, and looks relatively harmless, but plunged with enough force at the right place, it could hurt someone and cause serious injuries. 

Not only did it inspire me in my current in-progress story, but it prompted me to search for unusual weapons used in real-life murders.

These are some of the things killers used to beat their victims to death:

- bowling ball

- guitar

- jar of pickles

- loaf of pumpernickel bread (apparently, the bread was hard)

- lid of a toilet tank

- Xbox game console

- kitchen spatula

- prosthetic leg

- dessert spoon (the victim was elderly, but it's still a bad way to die)

- chess board

These are some of the things killers used to stab their victims to death:

- high heels

- umbrella

- cork screw

These are some of the things killers used to strangle their victims to death:

- pair of sweatpants

- guitar string

Almost anything can become a deadly weapon, so why not a 9mm crochet?

I intend to keep using my crochets to make blankets, but if I were under attack, I would probably favour a 4mm over a 9mm LOL 

Stay Safe! Hugs!
