I’ve Been Keeping a Secret . . .

I’ve been keeping a secret . . . when I picked to learn how to crochet I wasn’t a complete beginner. I picked crocheting because I wanted to learn more about the types of stitches and more items I can make other than blankets. I actually started crocheting around Christmas before this class and crocheting was the perfect choice for me because I already started. Since Christmas i have been working on a blanket. I’m about to finish it and decided to share my journey on making it. Some of the things i have learned when making this blanket:

  • Buy all your yarn at once because it might be gone the next time you go buy yarn. I had to use a different colour of green because there wasn’t any of the other green left. 
  • Know how many balls of yarn you’re going to use (i’m down to my last ball of yarn and i’m not sure if it going to be enough)
  • I learned that I’m using a half single stitch and a single stitch. I thought I wasdoing a single stitch then a double stitch but I learned I was wrong and was in fact doing a single half stitch.

There is a lot more that I learned and I am glad I decided to make this blanket because it gave me experience. Since I’ll be done with this blanket in about a week, I have been recently looking up other ideas for blankets. I have been getting my ideas from Tik Toc. I used Tik Toc regularly but i have never thought to use it to look up crochet patterns. I found many good ideas on what I should try next. I found a project I liked and on their Tik Toc page there was a link to their website. The website is called Yeezhee. There are patterns and many different 3D projects that I have never seen. This website was easy to navigate and it is nice to look at. There are so many different colours and pictures that help me explore Yeezhee

One thought on “I’ve Been Keeping a Secret . . .

  1. That’s such a fun reveal, Nadia! It totally makes sense now why your crochet projects have been turning out so beautifully—you’ve already got a head start! It’s awesome that you’re using this learning project to level up your skills rather than starting from scratch. That kind of honesty makes your journey so much more relatable and inspiring!

    Your green blanket looks super cozy, and those little lessons (like yarn dye lots and stitch confusion) are things even seasoned crocheters run into. Also, using TikTok and finding Yeezhee sounds like a total game-changer. 3D projects? That sounds like an exciting next step!
