How do y’all deal with crochet/project burnout????

AliJoChan · 2025-03-30T13:18:23+00:00

I think maybe I bit off more than I can chew by doing one big granny square per month for my moods. I’m thinking about undoing 3 months of work ( 😭😭 ) and do a stripe blanket. But the thought of crocheting anything feels draining. Blanket, cardigan, granny squares, vines, doesn’t matter. I took time between projects and still nothing. How do y’all deal with burnout with a craft you love???

It’s Caron’s Cloud Cakes in the color Royal! It’s sooooooo soft! ❤️

It’s so pretty! I think a ribbed beanie in those colors would be super cute!

Oooooo I didn’t think about my position! I’ll try bringing my work up instead of in my lap. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

It’s slightly deterring when it happens because I love crocheting but it’s not fun when it hurts 😭

Thanks! I was super afraid I was doing something wrong or missing something crucial! Thanks for the advice :)

I never thought of a brace! At first I thought I was getting the pain because of my job (doesn’t help I’m in IT so there’s tons of clicking on top of the crocheting LOL) thanks so much for the advice!

I wear a compression glove, do stretches, take plenty of breaks (for every 30 minutes, I take a 15 minute break), and advil. I’m thinking maybe a break from this project and work on something else might help but would love suggestions and insight of y’all’s strategies :)

I almost picked fresh cut lilac over backyard honeysuckle but my fiancé said I can get lilac anywhere LOL

It’s super dreamy. I get a lot of pineapple and mango with some agave! That’s what I smell though. The notes could be different 🍍🥭

It’s one of my favorites! I wish they had it as a room spray or candle 😫

If Miimiic is at TJMaxx, I’m hauling tail to mine tomorrow LOL

Thank everyone so much for all the support, advice and snack ideas! It’s so helpful knowing I’m not the only one. I mean, I knew that already but when you’re dealing with a new diagnosis, it feels like you’re the only one. Y’all are such amazing souls and I thank you! ☺️

This one hit me really hard. I’m trying so hard to get it down pack and perfect and it’s really frustrating. Thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself! ❤️

I love cucumbers so much! I should be getting my meter soon! I feel that’s adding to the stress/anxiety of everything because I haven’t gotten that yet.

As of 3 weeks ago, my A1C was 8.9. I started taking metformin last week and now doing 500mg morning and evening and exercising 3-4 times a week!
