I haven't written anything new in a while. I have been looking for new things to start crocheting, thinking about starting a crochet class here, and I am teaching my daughter Yani how to crochet. I am currently working on my hubby's blanket, my blanket, and trying to finish one row of my hair pin lace. My husband is constantly telling me, "You have way too many projects going on at one time." And I do,but I have never been able to complete just one project at a time.
He doesn't understand how much repetitive patterns starts to fry your brain. Take my hubby' s blanket for instance: it has 9 separate rows of what I call "on top cable" stitches and I HATE them! They are the bane of my existence. I would rather do an entire blanket of ribbon stitching than to do another row of those cables. Don't get me wrong, his blanket is going to be awesome. But it will be completed with my sanity at risk. My hair pin lace is repetitive, but I love creating the loops and sliding them down to make more room on the pins. As for my blanket, I am going to finish when football season starts. It was a family tradition that my dad started. We would all get out our crochet hooks and while the games where on the TV.
Despite me having a love hate thing with one of my projects, I wouldn't trade my talent with the yarn for anything. There is no such thing as too many crochet projects. The more you have the better you will be. The practice and learning of stitching various warm and beautiful items give me a joy that will never die.
Get you a bunch of projects and crochet a few of them everyday. Find your love through too many projects :0)
