craftgrrl | X-posted ?'s about Crochet

I was wondering if any of you have ever tried crocheting with hemp thread. I know it is possible, but I was just curious how well it works and what kind of things you made (maybe what sized hooks you have used as well) because I am very interested in making a few things outta hemp.

Also, I am thinking of making my boyfriend a guitar strap for christmas, but not sure if I could easily crochet one of not. Would it work? Any patterns or ideas? Let me know.

Yesterday I bought the book Simple Crochet and I must say that it is fabulous! Very easy to read instructions, great ideas, nice pictures, and a lot of info. I really like it, so you should look it up when you get a chance.

Thanks again for any help...Tai
