Crochet

[violsva]

Hey teaforlupin I am learning to crochet!

I mean, I kind of knew how to crochet before? Sort of? I made an entire hat in high school. But I had definitely forgotten all the terminology.

The important thing is, I finished something (a coaster. Not a big something. But the point is I actually need coasters.) without wanting to tear the whole thing out. I suspect because I had a pattern, and I know nothing about crochet so I had to stick to the pattern, rather than designing it myself, so I couldn't decide it was terrible or come up with a better idea or whatever halfway through. But also probably because !learning new things! Yay!

(Probably I should be studying for my four exams this week, but apparently I have forgotten how to study.)

Aw yiss!! That is so awesome!! <3 <3 <3 Finishing small things is so motivating (one of the reasons why I am always in the middle of multiple projects, so I can have that instant-ish gratification while working on something that's going to take a long time)

That is how I usually manage writing projects, but not fibre arts until recently. But now I have a whole bunch of doilies and other small lace things, and also some ongoing larger projects.
