I saw a post on Facebook about arm knitting and my mind was blown. I thought that was just the coolest thing. I spent countless hours on YouTube watching arm knitting videos. I finally felt confident enough to give it a go myself and went at it. I made quite a few scarves and gave them away.
Here’s the thing though, I don’t actually wear scarves. I can’t just continue to make scarves forever and always. I decided to try actual knitting.
I have to be honest with you. I did not care for it. It was so tedious with the casting on and spending (seemingly to me) FOREVER to only have completed a few rows.
I had a couple friends talk about crochet so I decided to give that a go. You know what? I LOVED IT!
It’s a lot of muscle memory and, once you get the pattern you are working on in your head, you can binge watch shows at the same time. I think that is pretty fabulous.
This blog is just a place for me to post pictures of things I am working on and the like. Perhaps once I get more experience I can attempt picture tutorials.
LOL!!! My mother knit my entire life, and I said the same thing. I could not understand how she could tolerate knitting for hours and only get a little bit done. And then I learned to crochet, and it was SO much faster!!! I’ve picked up knitting again though, a bit…as long as there are different stitches to challenge me, I can tolerate it!

In the WP Admin menu there is Links . Go there and you can add your blogs. I had to create the “My blogs” category. There are already links set up as default by WP but I deleted them all. The widget is the links widget I think.
