Note no time for needlework (7)

I believe the answer is:

crochet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'needlework' is the definition.
(crochet is a kind of needlework)

'note no time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'note' could be 'e' (musical note) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
'time' could be 't' and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crochet that I've seen before include "working with hook and loops" , "In music, a note equal to half a minim" , "Type of needlework" , "Make fabric with a hook" , "piece of handiwork" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
