10 Mins of Crochet A Day

Hey Crochet Friends!

I am a fan of short and sweet, keep it simple and baby steps.  All those terms translate so well into a crochet concept that I encourage people of all levels, all the time. 10 mins of crochet a day will get the project done sooner.

Hear me out.  If you crochet for 10 mins every day of the week - that somehow magically means you would have tucked away a whopping 70 mins of crochet time per week.  Even if you had to skip a day a week that still means an hour per week. 

Now tell me, if I said ‘Hey, when can you take 70 mins out of 1 day a week to focus on yourself and your favourite hobby?” I don’t know a single soul that would have the time. 

So, keep your crochet time short and sweet, keep it simple - don’t ask more than 10 mins a day of yourself and just take baby steps towards your project whether you are learning or sitting down with expert hands to create a few more rows!

Cheers,

Jennine

5 Tips If You Are Learning How To Crochet

Hey Crochet Friend!

Just checking how your crochet journey is going!? I know, I hear you! Learning to crochet can be so frustrating when it doesn’t go smoothly!  Hang in there, you will figure this out! I do have some tips to help navigate this tricky process. 

1)Give yourself the chance to make mistakes. In other words, don’t expect your first (or second) attempt at crochet to produce a perfectly symmetrical king size blanket! Mostly because that is a massive undertaking but also because you have to practice all the stitch work on a small sample size square.

2)Learn in small doses. Honestly, you’ll get better results from a 10 minute hyper focused crochet session than you ever will from a 3 hour binge!  

3)Take the time to watch the video tutorials. Do yourself the favour, watch the Will Travel For Wool Tutorials. They outline all the information you will require to get started and you can replay the any parts you need to see over and over again.

4)Put the distractions away. This simply means “turn the tv off”!! Go on, it’s just for 10 minutes!

5)When you get frustrated, put it down. Truly, walk away! Give your hands and your head a hot minute to rest and come back to the project with fresh eyes.  

Cheers, Jennine
