beginning crocheting

hellooo


i put this blog under the fashion, style, and shopping category because frfr i didn't know where to put it lol :p


last week i decided i finally wanted to learn how to crochet. this has been a goal for the summer and im happy its finally getting done (unlike every single new year's goal). literally i went out and bought crochet hooks and the cheapest yarn i could find and like three hours ago i sat down and started learning


it's easy to underestimate the amount of work needed for things like crocheting, knitting, and weaving it's so hard TT i think the biggest problem was that theyre so weird to hold and ur fingers have to be in a specific spot to keep tension in the yarn. hopefully with repetition the learning curve will get easier. i made two granny squares and then took a break because my hand started cramping up haha


the first square took maybe 45 minutes? (idek was probably more tbh) i think i redid it 4 times before finishing the square. the second one went much faster but there's definitely room to grow and improve 


i rlly want to keep this hobby and eventually make gifts for friends and family :3 

we will c

crochet is very fun and eventually you will be doing it whenever your hands are idle, its almost addicting once you get the hang of it! pinterest has a lot of free patterns you can follow

are you more interested in clothes or plushies?
