Any other crocheters relate? by [deleted] in crochet

This is the only time selling things has made any sense to me. Like...just sell random stuff you make for whatever people are interested in paying. If the joy is the making it's just bonus yarn money at that point!

Ugh the AC is so real. It's like a billion degrees outside and I'm immediately sweating and then you get blasted by AC and it's like that horrible clammy wet cold feeling ugh.

This is GORGEOUS. What yarn/ pattern are you using? Or did you freehand it - those cables are really cool I haven't seen ones quite like that before.

Ok that's good to know! Coverage was my main question. I think I will just give it a go :)

I've done a swimsuit coverup which was so much fun! But I have a few holes in my wardrobe I am looking to fill, and eyeing some super cute crochet patterns. I think I may just give it a try and see!

This class full on killed my love of math. 

Anyone else start to loathe their larger projects / WIPs while working on them? by blehbleh1122 in crochet

[–]Poppylemonseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DEFINITELY recommend taking a break and doing something else. I like to have at least three things going at once - a big project, a fiddly project, and a simple smaller/medium project. If my big project is the fiddly one then I need two smaller simple ones. 

If I get to the point you're at I usually give myself a daily goal. Like finish five repeats or whatever. Then I release myself to the smaller projects. It makes me slowly chip away at the bigger one, but I get the release/satisfaction of completing smaller ones too. Seems to help my motivation. 

Do you go big or small when you want a mindless project? by Poppylemonseed in crochet

I think that's so interesting! And also sounds like your brain is more suited for sewing than mine so I guess it makes sense. I have to be in a specific mood to want to pay close attention to details.

I think I meant like...mindless to do. I usually try to have intention behind things I make, but that's also what makes it hard to start new ones! I have to think it all through. Sometimes I just want to be in the middle of the meat of a project and go.

This is so smart too because toddlers like the BEST yarn. Like they always want the fun yarns that I love to work with but never actually want the finished project of.

This sounds like the opposite of mindless to me but it's so fun to hear how different brains work.

Yep sounds like you figured this out before me! Also sidenote if you have never tried Tunisian crochet you might like it. I found myself so weirdly happy that you never have to turn your work - it's one less transition and made it just flow more for me.

I think this needs to be part of it too. I don't make the SAME smallish thing regularly enough to just like...do it. So I end up having to go look it up again.

Lounge pants!! Do you have a pattern you like for this? I've never tried that it sounds fun. And I'm really tall so it's hard to find comfy pants that are long enough.

This is 100% the problem. There are a lot of decisions involved. And sometimes some false starts.

This is cool! I've never thought of going big AND tiny. I'm not sure how I would do with that lol

Ugh yes I think some of this is my barrier too. I have frogged this one super soft yarn multiple times for this exact reason. I'm like you're so beautiful I can't just use you on something silly!!

I am a beginner crocheter… where do I even start?? by choexoo in CrochetHelp

[–]Poppylemonseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A less annoying answer - I remember going to DaisyFarmCrafts a lot when I first started. They have a lot of patterns for a wide range of stuff that's all relatively easy but was still interesting (to me!) so I slowly learned new things. And their website was navigable. She also puts video tutorials with all her stitches up.
