I’ve only been crocheting for about a month and a half at this point, but I’ve always wanted to get into it.

After my house fire, when I had nothing to do but sit in the motel room, I decided to take the plunge and learn it. Plus, we lost all my kitty’s clothes and I couldn’t afford to buy her any, but I could definitely make her some!

I’d like to say I’m really good at following directions. I don’t think I’ve been doing it long enough to really be ‘good’ at anything yet 😅 I’ve been doing a decent job learning as I go. Also, I feel like I’m good at figuring out how to make things work how I want (how to make a big plushie from a tiny pattern or how to add or things)

I’d like to learn everything! My adhd makes me disinterested in just sitting down and studying every little thing, but I can learn whatever I need to for whatever project I choose. I’ve yet to make any clothes for humans or anything, but I’m excited for that

I think it must be at least 60 years now since I first started crocheting. I’ve had long periods when I didn’t crochet but once I found Ravelry I was hooked again.

I was interested in a lot of stuff when I was a kid, including sewing, drawing, spirograph, and crochet. Crochet seems to have stuck around. I was taught by a book, my Mum, my Nan, and an old lady my Mum knew. It took a while for it to stick.

I make great shawls, and much less good jackets, so I mostly make shawls. Also some hats and fingerless gloves.

The one thing I’d really like to be better at is seaming; mostly for knitting but for crochet too.
