Crochet-iversary

When I checked my Facebook memories this morning, I saw the following post from 12 years ago:

I still remember it! I was pregnant with Laura and after several failed attempts, I had decided that I was finally going to learn. I thought it would be fun to look back on my journey!

It’s so fun to look back on all of the projects I’ve completed over the years (this is just a small selection)! Last year I honestly didn’t do much crochet, save for some dishcloths. Seems I lost my cro-jo a bit. But I feel like it’s so worth it to make time for the things that make you feel good, and I am definitely in need of a creative outlet.

So maybe this weekend I’ll actually pick up my hook (or knitting needles — I haven’t knit in ages, either) and see what inspires me!

    I love seeing all your progress! I’ve been crocheting since I was 5 years old. I can still remember the variegated yarn that I used to learn 🙂 We ended up with about 10 inches of snow. I’m glad it wasn’t 18 inches!

    Thanks for stopping by.

    How did you teach yourself? You-tube or a book? I can remember my mom attempting to teach me how to crochet when I was 10-11 but struggling to learn it (left-handed self learning from my right-handed mother made it hard). I think at one point I could make a chain but don’t think I ever got much further. Loved seeing all your projects. You definitely have a talent for it!
