  • Support - Nice work, high detail. Not, perhaps, widely usable in article, but certainly this or something like it is necessary for crochet. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 03:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support of course it's usable, Shoemaker (scold, scold). The textile arts is an underdeveloped area of the encyclopedia. DurovaCharge! 05:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I meant "usable in a variety of subjects". This is very much a textile-arts photo, and very useful as such, but probably wouldn't be useful in any non-textile-arts articles =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 17:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support - There is a bit of a subjective tradeoff here, but i'd have prefered to have less of the repeating pattern in the frame in exchange for more fine detail Noodle snacks (talk) 11:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This image adds value to the crochet article, and, as Durova said, the textile-related articles on Wikipedia are sorely in need of expansion and illustration. Jordan Contribs 14:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Oh course. Possibly the first FP with a orange background! haha Intothewoods29 (talk) 16:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Nice crochet cloth! Reminds me of my late grandma who used to make lots of those. Very nice shot too, shows the pattern of the cloth very well. Though I'd like to see more details of the actual stitches, loops and knots, but that's probably a theme for another picture ;) Luca (talk) 17:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • This one was made by my mother and I still use it on special ocasions. For the detail on the stitches, please see "other versions" -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:15, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose it's very technical correct, but object is just a tablecloth, I do not see 'wow factor'. Andrew18 @ 21:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, as I said in the Commons FPC discussion, you can practically cut it out and use it. This looks like an excellent project box image for the textile arts project (Durova, you guys should think about it). It would make a great desktop image, too. Daniel Case (talk) 19:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Absolutely no wow factor - a photo of someone creating a crochet would make a more interesting and encyclopedic image. --Abdominator (talk) 03:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose agree with above, very little wow factor. --Leivick (talk) 07:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom and Durova. The red fabric under the crochet is a bit wrinkled on the right edge of the image, which is a little distracting. Perhaps a crop would remove the distraction without detracting from the image. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - beautiful cloth, but not Featured Picture material composition.Oscar (talk) 04:15, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
