@blitheSun94 Wee crochet sounds amazing! Let us know how it goes!🥰
@blitheSun94
Oooh, looking good 👍🏻 I love the colour of that yarn! 😺
I think it’s safe to say I’m obsessed….
@blitheSun94 it looks lovely! Nice job. I learned crochet by watch YouTube! The channel that helped me most is called Planet June.
Thank you! Me too! Self taught. :)
@blitheSun94 What's the difference between the two? Weave patterns? Which one do you prefer now that you've tried both?
What's crochet? 🤔😧
@Xtrem3 it is like knitting, but with one hook, rather than 2 needles.
@purplelady568 thanks for the information. I was totaaly unaware of that😊
Knitting and crochet are both fabric arts with many different stitch options. They are similar, but different.
Knitting involves using two knitting needles to form loops from one needle to the other and throwing the yarn a little bit differently. It tends to result in a softer product:
Crochet involves one crochet hook and forms loops directly on the piece. Crochet is a bit more complex in my opinion, but also more fun! It tends to work up a little faster than knitting:
@blitheSun94 Nice explanation! I have not yet tried knitting.
I agree that crochet seems to work up faster, and I feel like it has more diverse stitches.
@purplelady568
I do need to explore more! There are so many great patterns out there. 💜
Happy to see you learning new skills! Knitting and crochet are such useful skills since you can make whatever you want with them! Can’t wait to see what you crochet. I hope that you have fun :)
Me too! I shall hop back to it. I’m liking this accountability thread. Thank you! 💕
@blitheSun94 I tried to learn to chrochet, but I ended up angrily throwing it out the window.
@unassumingcoconut123 aww, that does not sound relaxing at all!
It can be frustrating at first. It helped me to watch tutorial videos, or watch someone else do it (slowly). But if crochet or knitting are not for you, that's ok too!
Do you have other hobbies that you enjoy?
@purplelady568 Skateboarding, but not very relaxing :/ :)
@unassumingcoconut123 well, skateboarding is good exercise! So in that way, it can be a stress-reliever.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that although I can relate - lol. Learning a new skill is tough, even with the information highway at our fingertips. It's not for everyone. Both my mother and her mother crocheted one project and never picked it up again. They found it boring. My father's mother, however, was an avid knitter. I do both, so there's some potential there.
@blitheSun94 I am determined to learn to knit though, so many people have tried to teach me but i just can't get it 😂
Progress post. 🧶
