Crochet wedding bouquet – the big reveal!
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you will have seen some sneak peeks of this crochet wedding bouquet (and matching buttonholes) already – but I’m so pleased with it, it totally deserves its own blog post. I had been itching to make a crochet wedding bouquet for ages – I had intended to […]
Setting up my craft space – work in progress!
So after my accidental knitting machine purchase last Saturday I realised – I had nowhere to put it when it arrives! I have wanted to sort out a dedicated craft space in our house for a while, but this was just the push I needed to get it done. How it’s looking so far (complete […]
The War on WIPs
I had to make a confession to my husband the other day. It was hard to admit, but I currently have about 30 works in progress (WIPs). I wish I was exaggerating. I think the root of the problem is that I love yarn too much – when I find some yarn I love, I […]
Hi, 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.
Thanks Michelle, glad you found it helpful even though you don’t crochet! xx
Thanks 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!
Thanks 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
Great 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!
Thanks Teresa. I usually find a little break from my current projects helps me to re-find my crojo in no time! xx
I 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
Ah 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
I 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.
Thanks, hope you manage to rekindle it soon! xx
Love 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
Ah 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
I 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
Ah 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
I 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 🙂
Thanks 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
Whilst 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
Thanks 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
