I have many hobbies. Recently I got really fired up again with crocheting. While organising my bedroom wardrobe I came across my long forgotten collection of yarns. Since I brought it to a 'crafty spot' in the living room it's been begging me to do something with it.
My crocheting experience isn't too big. My mum thought me chains and treble crochets (uk) when I was a kid. At that time I made maybe a 1/3 of a simple scarf before I got bored and moved on to something else. My mum finished that scarf and I wore it telling everyone that I made it. I felt horrible about that half-lie.
My second attempt to crochet was around 4 years ago. I don't remember what got me started, but I know that this time I have produced an awkward doily. I had hard time reading the pattern, I made plenty of mistakes, it took forever, but at least I finished it. It was such a struggle that I wasn't feeling too trilled about starting another one any time soon. Such a pity that I don't even know where to find it now.
Even when I didn't crochet I still wanted to do more of it 'one day'. That's probably why I got this soft peach crochet yarn few years ago and a new pattern magazine. I'm delighted that I finally found some time to add crocheting into a list of my active hobbies. At the moment I'm making another doily. I got so consumed with it that for the first few days I been crocheting till very late night hours. It resulted with many silly mistakes I have made, and couldn't be bothered to go back all row to correct them. Don't be surprised if you spot one or two or million.
When I will finish it I'm already planning on making a blanket for my livingroom. I have never crochet with a thicker yarn and larger hook before so it's an exciting idea. I wander if I would get bored of a repetitive pattern or maybe seeing results faster will motivate me. I suppose we're going to find that out sometime soon.
Here is the pattern I'm using in case if you would like to make it yourself:
