Hi Everyone!
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by arts and crafts. I eagerly participated in every school competition and still cherish those moments. I remember one competition where we had to use yarn to create something—whether through knitting, crochet, or another art form. I learned knitting at that time, but I also wanted to try crochet. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance back then.
Another fondest memory is watching my grandmother crochet. She taught me how to make and hold a crochet hook, but that’s as far as my skills go—I have never explored crochet in further detail. This project is providing an opportunity to dive deeper and learn every detail about crocheting.
This project is also an exciting chance for me to explore blogging for the very first time. It is a fantastic way to combine two new skills—crocheting and blogging—and share my journey of learning. In this era of technology, sharing the learning journey online is an excellent way to connect with others. Blogging will allow me to share my journey with a wider audience, receive feedback, and connect with others who share similar interests. I hope to gain valuable insights through reviews, feedback and comments and improve myself along the way.
I have decided to combine my love for plants and flowers as well as background in botany with this project to create something meaningful. My goal for this project is to crochet a snake plant! I am thrilled to take on this creative challenge, as it connects my passion for nature with this new craft.
To achieve this, I will break my learning journey into milestones:
- Week 1: Learn basic crochet stitches (chain, single crochet, double crochet).
- Week 2: Begin working on leaf shapes for the snake plant.
- Week 3: Begin working on planter
- Week 4: Assemble the leaves and pot for the final plant design.
I will be using resources like YouTube tutorials (e.g., The Woobles), crochet blogs to guide me. Each week, I will document my progress, share photos and videos, and reflect on my learning process.
I can not wait to get started on this adventure and share my progress with all of you. If you have any crochet tips or resources, I’d love to hear them in the comments! Let’s make this journey a fun and collaborative experience!
Hi Jasmine! I have to start off with saying that as soon as I saw your header photo of the crocheted heart bookmark, I went straight to YouTube to find a tutorial on how to make one. I will 100% be making at least one of these tonight, so thank you for inspiring me!!! My Grandma also taught me how to crochet when I was little but I was never able to actually make anything. I recently picked it up as a hobby and have made a couple stuffies and blankets. I love that your goal is to crochet a snake plant! Super unique, and I’m excited to follow your journey!
Hi Kendra ! I am so happy my crocheted heart bookmark inspired you to check out a tutorial! It’s such a fun and quick project, you will love making it. I am also really excited that you’ve picked up crocheting again! It’s awesome that you’ve already made some stuffies and blankets—those must be so cute! And thank you for the kind words about my snake plant goal. I’m excited to work on it, and I’m glad you’re excited to follow along too! Can’t wait to see what you create!
Hi Jasmine! I am also going to be taking on crocheting for my learning project. So, I’m looking forward to following your blog to see any tips and tricks that might help me on my learning journey as well. I’m just starting with the basics as well; a single crochet square will be my first task! Do you have any recommended videos or websites that you find helpful? Thanks!
Hi Chandre! It is very exciting to know that you’re starting crocheting for your learning project too! A single crochet square is a solid foundation for learning the basics. I’m also at the beginning level of crocheting. I mentioned some helpful resources in the introduction of my learning post, so feel free to check those out as well! One of my favorite YouTube channels is GoodKnitKisses and Sarah maker is another great website for free patterns and guides. I am super excited to be on this crocheting journey with you, and I would love to share tips and tricks along .
Hi Jasmine! I think this will be so fun to do!! My Grandma also did crochet (and knitting), I sadly never learned from her directly, but have been learning knitting for the past few months and really enjoy it! I love doing arts and crafts as well! I’m excited to see what you make.
Hi Molly! I have loved knitting and crocheting since childhood too. like your grandma, my mom and grandma used to make sweaters, booties, caps, and other things for me and my cousins. Unfortunately, I didn’t fully learn from them back then, but these days I’m learning through different websites, channels, and even from my mom. Arts and crafts are such a fun way to express yourself, and I’m so excited to share what I make! I’d love to see your knitting projects too!
