I took up crotchet last year, mainly because my Mom wanted yarn so she could knit my niece a sweater and I was taken in by the milky pink yarn that I wanted to make something for myself.

And since then, I reached out to LaDenser- on Instagram and get my yarn from her. She also has awesome tutorials on YouTube where she shares the process of some of the beautiful outfits she makes. I am nowhere near as fast, neat, or dedicated as she is, and you can check her out here:

Since then, I have made two storage baskets that have helped with the dirty laundry and pajamas.

Since then I have learned some things about myself and it is interesting to think these of myself:

1. I stick to something that works well for me. I made one storage basket, then instead of trying something new, I made another and I am currently making the third.
2. Crotchet is like meditation. When I am at it, my mind is quiet and I only follow through the pattern of stitching.
3. Time flies when you crotchet– and to me it is like reading when I say just one more page and end up reading a whole book, same with crocheting- sometimes I say I would do just one row and an hour later I have done three or four.
4. Crocheting is all about consistency- something that I struggle with when it comes to working out and writing- and being able to do it here, is a sure slap in the face that I haven’t put more effort in working out and writing like I have done with crotchet.
5. I know how to play safe, but when I do, I don’t grow. Read the first lesson I learned-and apply it to life, and you’ll probably pity or understand me-and I am stepping out of the boundaries I have set for myself slowly watching tutorials and trying out new things.

I’ll share the next design of the storage basket I am working on and probably watch more tutorials so I can make a dress or skirt next time, maybe.

Have a great week.
