Firstly, Hello and thank you for inspiring me with those beauttiful creations you made. I had a little go and its fun!
I was 12 the last time I did crochet, I clearly remember those moments when my mum taught me this, we worked on a school projects and I remember practicing everyday, my mum was always there quiding me. I remember cheating on one of my school project and asked my mum to do it for me because she does it very neatly, so she happily crocheted a hand towel made of yellow cotton yarn. I can still picture that beautiful bright yellow crocheted hand towel hanging on our old fridge door handle that we used for years!
After that, for some reason I stopped, probably beacuse I was busy learning other things.
Last last week I passed by a craft shop, as i walked along this hallway full of colourful yarns, I suddenly had enthusiasm to create something out of them.
My eyes lit up when I saw those beautiful colourful cotton yarn 🧶 and brought my memories back and remembered how I loved it.
And assorted hooks and needles.
My enthusiasm kicked in, and suddenly had an urge to create something out of them, so I bought few different colours to play with.
and assorted needles.
It took me few hours to get used to it again. Then I started relating it to my work which involves stitching wounds, and that I feel so comfortable holding needles.I realized that every skills we learned as a child is a foundation to another thing.
I practiced on making few little things and realized how it is so relaxing and satisfying picking and pulling those colourful threads.
I missed couple of stitches here!
I love the handle on this face scrubbies, it helps dry really nicely.
I made eco friendly face pads. No more running out of disposable ones.
I also made Coasters.
This one is my favourite!
A flannel and face cleansing pads and had a little go on embroidering a flower.
A dish cloth maybe?
I just love the feel and weight of 100% cotton.
Next time I will try to follow a pattern and learn the crochet language! which i find it a bit alien at the moment.
I may find it hard as I am terrible in following instructions, I am one of those "do it as you go along" But looking forward to try a bigger project.
So yes, I have been busy practicing the last few days!
So pleased that I found myself a hobby that is productive and fun!
Thank you for inspiring!
💜Mariah
