Link Parties
I add most of my posts to link parties. Here is where you're likely to find this one!
The Knitting and Stitching Show 2014
At the weekend I had the pleasure of trekking up to Alexandra Palace (quite wholesale nfl jerseys a feat from Surrey on a Sunday, I tell you!) for my first Knitting and Stitching Show. Having attended both Unravel and cheap jerseys the Hobby Crafts show this year I Gunung thought I knew the drill for these […]
Public Service Announcement: £4 Yarn Bowls!
I must confess, I don’t really have enough for a full post here but I just have to share! I’ve been after a yarn bowl for absolutely ages. I first saw them at Unravel last year – these magical bowls stop your yarn from dancing around the room while you’re busy working with it. The […]
My Favourite Yarns in Review – Stylecraft Special DK
In this new series, I’m going to take a look at some of my favourite yarns, what is so great about them and what kind of projects I would recommend them for. To kick off, I thought I’d take a look at what I’ve come to see as my default yarn – the wonder that […]

3rd September 2016 at 1:20 pmHi, Louise! I love this!!! I don’t crochet, but your ideas could apply to any creative endeavor. I’m saving it for sure, for that inevitable mental block when my own ‘craftojo’ runs low.
Elsie Pop says
3rd September 2016 at 1:21 pmThanks Michelle, glad you found it helpful even though you don’t crochet! xx

4th September 2016 at 3:13 pmThanks for sharing on craft schooling sunday! Great tips! It is true sometimes not knowing what to make keeps one from making, and those fellow crocheters that actually make lists of things they want to make never have to worry about this! Can’t say i’ve ever done this and generally buy the yarn and then figure out what to make with it, which can lead to problems of either too much yarn or not enough! Live, learn and keep crocheting!
Elsie Pop says
4th September 2016 at 8:45 pmThanks Sara, a list can help sometimes but I find it can add even more pressure, which can make me turn away from crocheting. Different things work for different people! xx
Teresa says
5th September 2016 at 4:58 pmGreat tips, thank you for sharing. I’ve been itching to go out and buy yarn to make a new blanket, and then telling myself I can only do that after I finish all the projects I have pending right now…we’ll see…
I’ve added you post to The Really Crafty Link Party Pinterest board, hopefully it will help others finding their crojo too!
Elsie Pop says
5th September 2016 at 9:59 pmThanks Teresa. I usually find a little break from my current projects helps me to re-find my crojo in no time! xx

8th September 2016 at 9:24 amI haven’t lost my Crojo because I never started but have been wanting to learn recently so I am really glad I found this blog! Great timing. #SharingTheBlogLove
Elsie Pop says
8th September 2016 at 9:33 amAh hope you enjoy! If you’ve ever knitted, maybe try Tunisian crochet first? The Mathlete pattern hidden away on here somewhere is perfect for beginners. 🙂 xx
Lucy Blossom says
8th September 2016 at 9:50 amI can’t crochet but I do sometimes lose my crafting mojo and it can be so difficult to pick it up again, but you’ve given me some great ideas to rekindle it.
Elsie Pop says
8th September 2016 at 9:52 amThanks, hope you manage to rekindle it soon! xx
Emma T says
8th September 2016 at 10:11 pmLove the phrase Crojo! I’m a winter crocheter only. I generally crochet from Oct/Nov to March. Hence I never finish any of the big blankets I’ve started. The problem is I have so many other things to do like blogging, dancing and reading. Something has to give and that’s usually crochet, but I’ll have to see what happens this winter. #sharingthebloglove
Elsie Pop says
9th September 2016 at 8:42 amAh winter is the best time to crochet! I usually crochet blankets and it can get a bit hot under there in the summer… I’m currently giving sock knitting a go – much smaller, and as I mention above, a new craft is really boosting the crojo! xx
Karen : TwoTinyHands says
11th September 2016 at 8:33 pmI learnt to crochet last year when I was breastfeeding my little. I used to spend 40 minutes playing on my phone while feeding him sometimes and I got really bored. I managed to find a way to work the hook while feeding him. It was pretty clever (in my opinion!)
I haven’t croched in a while so think I should pick it back up again soon! #sharethebloglove
Elsie Pop says
11th September 2016 at 8:59 pmAh how lovely that you managed to juggle the hook and the baby! That’s quite a skill, I bet you’d find it really easy if you picked it up again! xx

12th September 2016 at 7:06 amI think with any hobby you love there are times when you lose the love. These are great tips for getting the inspiration back though – I know I can apply lots of them to my hobbies even if I’m not a crocheter! Thanks so much for joining us again at #SharingtheBlogLove 🙂
Elsie Pop says
12th September 2016 at 7:38 amThanks Katy. It’s just the nature of having a hobby sometimes I think – I’m slowly getting to grips with creating inspiration out of nowhere though! Xx
Laura - dear bear and beany says
12th September 2016 at 8:48 pmWhilst I’m not a crocheter I can relate to loosing your mojo with a hobby. If can get to a point where it no longer feels like a hobby, but a chore. Then its time to take a break and like you say it normally returns all on its own. I hope you find yours again soon. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove x
Elsie Pop says
13th September 2016 at 8:45 amThanks for hosting Laura! I’ve managed to renew my enthusiasm quite a bit now – it’s amazing what picking up a new craft can do! xx
