Welcome Gen!! I don't crochet. So I can't relate to that. But i CAN relate to not scrapping. March of '15 is when I got back into it, after years of not doing hardly anything. It's like my creative brain had been asleep and finally woke up. I loved art journaling for getting those feelings taken care of, and feel much better now. wishing you all the best in your goals. Jump on in and get started with us!
Welcome to the Pad, Gen. I used to be a very avid crocheter: did whole layettes for my babies, booties, hats, snuggles, sweaters... Tons of afghans and I still have a poncho (when they were in style in my hippy days... ). It's something I want to take up again, but not sure what to start with. I've seen some nice lacy sweaters which look not too complicated I might try. The key to sizing is tension - not so much on the yarn as in you. Relax and just mindlessly try that pattern (not particularly for the sweater... ) just as fun. You will concor it.
welcome to the pad Gen! So glad you have joined us! I look forward to seeing your creations.. both crocheting and scrapping!
Welcome and thanks for introducing yourself! Good luck on the sweater making as well as the job searching!
Welcome Gen!!! I can't talk about knitting, crochet is something that makes me smile and think of my grandma,a who made us everything...but I never got started (though she wanted to teach me) as I had a very nomad life, moving from one country to another..... but looking forward to seeing your creations!!! Also, like many have said, MOC is an amazing time to come back scrapping, amazing inspiration!!!!! Give us a shout if you need any help, everyone here is amazing and helpful!!!!!!
Welcome Gen! I'm another crocheter too! Didn't realize there were so many of us here. I also dabble in knitting but everytime I do I wonder why. It just doesn't come very easy to me and I always seem to mess up and I hate fixing mistakes with knitting. With crochet, you just pull it out and start back up again. Lol! Hope your sweater goes well and that you find time to jump into scrapping again too!
