This week, I learned new tips and tools to continue my crocheting journey. Three major lessons were taught this week and have made me grow as an individual, not just in crocheting…
- Never get too flustered while making a mistake.
- Pay attention to the crocheting, which will help reduce the number of mistakes made.
- Be proud of the skill that you are working on
I decided to try and make a granny square, which turned out more like a thicker line. At first, I was frustrated with all my mistakes and how they did not turn out how I wanted. But compared to last week, when I couldn’t even do a single line of crocheting, I am pretty proud of my progress.
As complex as this may look with all the multiple colours, I can assure everyone that only one ball of yarn has these multiple colours in it. As you can see, it did not come out as a square, but I might see if I can make something with this thicker line of crocheting I have done.
It amuses me to think that I do not learn well by reading steps and looking at instructions. However, I thought I would give it a try anyway. This week, I read an article on beginner crocheting to try something new. I think that videos are my best friend so far in this process. Being able to watch someone go through the steps over and over again for me to do at the same time has helped me retain the knowledge.
This week, I aim to finish this thick piece of crocheting and make it into something if I can!
Alyssa!!! How did you get your lines so straight. I spent the better half of last week just trying to learn how to do some chain stitches. This week, my goal is to learn the double crochet and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my stitches to look less like a jagged line. Anyways, I am so proud of your work, not that you need me to say it but I know external reinforcement helps. Keep it up!
