My crochet passion

Crocheting is one of my biggest passions. About two years ago, I began to notice a lot of handcrafted crocheted things like purses, pants, sweaters, dresses, bags, etc. Even though I was intrigued by what I was seeing, it would be another year before I decided to start crocheting for myself.

In the beginning, it was hard for me to even get past the first row. I followed videos, read step-by-step guides, and occasionally asked some of my crochet experienced friends for assistance or tips. Sadly frustration took the better of me for a while and after a few failed attempts at different designs, I put crochet behind me.

Nowadays I crochet in my free time making everything I see Online and replicating store-made items. it’s useful and comforting.  you can crochet anything from a hat or shawl to dolls and stuffed animals. Discovering new patterns is entertaining. Similar to knitting, weaving, and making your own clothes, crocheting can serve as a link to a bygone era when these useful skills were more than just a pastime; they were a necessary activity for people who required apparel and household items.

  2. Crocheting seems like such a fun and useful skill to have! I always see a lot of crocheting videos on my TikTok fyp and always thought it was interesting, especially since many people make their own clothing and accessories. It makes me want to learn as well. Thanks for providing those videos, maybe I could learn a thing or two.

  3. Crocheting is definitely a skill I would like to learn. It is an activity/skill that is on my to do list for when I complete my degree, is an awaiting hobby lol.
