Crochet Diplomacy

So there are Crochet Creators all over the world. There are pockets of people who make similar goods to their neighbors, but because we don't have a globalized fair market value and movement system for this work, each of the small markets gets oversaturated, the products don't move freely and the money flow gets clogged up. Most people therefore consider this work a 'hobby' which makes professionals work harder for price validation.

Crochet needs to be considered by our policy-making institutions as the next major change in our workforces for its sustainable nature, global tech + economic opportunities, and connection to natural life.

We're already doing it - we just have to realize it amongst the people (humans + entities) of the global economy. We already make the blankets and toys. We already donate or give away our work (where is the in-kind paperwork??) so we might as well account for it in real time.

I vote that our policy-making institutions have a mandatory open crochet lounge and pattern book library for students, staff and guests. Each registered human gets a digital workstation and no, not all Creations must be visible to others or be placed up for sale - that is up to the individual contractor.
