Projects

So I know the question will come sooner or later, asking what kinds of projects I do. Well in short what ever peaks my interest. But in long? I have done everything from blankets to aprons, to olive oil drip catchers (never again!). I have done big stuffed animals to small stuffed animals, I have done scarves and touqes. But mostly I prefer quick projects to keep my interest up. I like to see professor quickly. I don't like projects that take forever.

Recently I tried arm knitting. The projects work up fast but I don't care for the loose stitching to me it looks sloppy.  I like nice tight worked things that look like it took time and care to do.

My mother does the local farmers market and sells the stuff she does. My grandmother contributed crocheted goods to her table for years because my mother didn't know how to crochet.  Now unfortunately my grandmother passed away last September.  However something good came out of her passing. My mother finally had the incentive to crochet. So I taught her. She hasn't done any knitting since she learned to crochet a couple of months ago.

Now in my opinion crocheting is much faster than knitting and you see progression much soon as well, so you feel more motivated to keep going. To me crocheting is a lot like life. You see progress which drives you to keep on going. Crocheting is that calm after the storm. It helps get you through tough times.

Was there ever a time the crocheting (or any crafting) got you through something tough?

For now,
