The crochet hookers 🧶

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be? I’d start a crochet sport . It’s all about hand movement and tenacity. You need a clear head and mental clarity to count those stitches . I think rainbow colours would be best to represent the different yarns that are used. There could be knock out rounds with the starter skill to the intermediate. You could start by making a…

The Hank of yarn

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? Hank is a coiled or wrapped unit of yarn or twine I learnt this week what a Hank of yarn is . I’ve been crocheting for years now and it’s the first time I’ve heard of it . I do remember seeing these twisted lengths of yarn but never felt curious enough to check it out opting to stick with the ball of yarn I’m used to instead . This changed one…

Maximum satisfaction

It was a good game 🧶 I did start to sweat as I got to the last two granny squares . I could see the colour I was using disappearing fast. It came down to the last square and I would be finished with the colour for good . After having a quick hunt to see if I had any more of the yarn and coming up empty I braced myself to start . I’ve been out enough this week already. I didn’t want to have to go…

What to do while waiting for buttons 🤔

I won the battle of the yarn finally and made a cardigan that I love . It’s so bright and pretty but I decided It needed buttons on it . I’ve been looking forward to seeing it finished and now need to pass the time until my button delivery. To take my mind off the unfinished cardigan I’ve decided to make 32 granny squares . There is a good reason for this as firstly you can never have enough…

Back in action

🤔 Seems my feet are back in business and I have a new exercise routine . This is not what I imagined when I brought the yarn winder but at least part of it is useful for this hank of yarn 🧶. I think I deserve a glass of Bailey’s with this one . Cheers 🥃

More little things ❤️

👆I’m so organized 👆 This is the most organized I’ve been and it’s such a lovely calming feeling I have . Maybe this will keep me more focused. My brain is buzzing at how efficiently I will be able to crochet to my heart’s content. All my yarn colours on display are just ready to be grabbed and transformed into my next creation. It made the anxiety of having to leave the house today well worth…

Day two and the fight continues

I think this is like having lessons in patience. There’s no other yarn I have that I would devote so much effort into coxing into a user friendly ball . I will have that cardigan when it’s finished and it will be beautiful 😍. I just need to keep that image in my head as I continue my struggle. I will win this battle of mind over yarn 🧶 . It will not kill my enthusiasm for this crazing crochet…
