Not bad, not bad. Taking a break from designing a little crochet dice bag I’m gifting someone. Really shouldn’t be bragging about literally a bag, but multicolored swirly patterns require the most basic math skills and math is hard when you’ve got terminal brain damage
As a knitter, making anything with only one needle seems like rocket science.
Right? I started out knitting and I have to say it’s kinda more fun for me. It’s very zen, even though knitting patterns tend to be more complex. But it’s harder to shape things that way and to make features quite as defined, so WAY more stuffed animals, etc. are crochet and that’s what I wanted to make. I was forced to learn. I did not choose this life.
99% of either one is just muscle memory. It’s frustrating and I’m not gonna pretend like my first crochet project didn’t end in 3 do-overs and at least one frustrated crying fit. But it’s really a question of sheer stubbornness while you get the motions down
I keep making mittens, and then I just try to figure out which of my friends they might fit after I’m done. Would love to make something big like a sweater, but I just know my first try is not going to fit snugly on a single person on earth, and it’s too much of an investment to start making one when I know it’s going to be a disaster.
Ooh would love to see the bag when its done! A friend crochets and has made some really cool stuff
