The Highlight of Your Day thread

I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the highlight of your day (even if it's found in a fleeting moment) 🙂

For me today, the highlight of my day was finishing the most annoying round of crochet in a blanket I have been working on for months. This round has taken me so long and I've found it so frustrating that I didn't think I would ever finish the project. Stitch by (incredibly frustrating) stitch it came together. Super excited to get to change colours and start the next round now!

Looking forward to hearing anyone else's highlights 🙂

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

🙂 great to see the forum a highlight for you @unknown. I have found lots of highlight moments in the short time I've been here too.

One of my highlights today was finding a new crochet pattern that doesn't take much thinking, feels nice to work on, is (hopefully) going to look great, and if I keep at it will make another snuggly blanket to add to my ever growing collection 🙂

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

hello @CheerBear

Just browsing through old posts. I only manage to do this when I am feeling calmer.

I found this beautiful mandela blanket.

I do hope that you are very proud.

I spent a couple of my hospital visits knitting scarves purely because I could follow the same pattern without focussing too much.

Needless to say I have an array of knitted and gifted scarves.

wool is expensive yes but then so is therapy. xxx

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Hi @Former-Member 🙂 It's nice to see you here and feeling calmer. Thank you for your lovely comments. I am proud of that one and am looking forward to being able to keep going with it soon seeing as it's not too far from finished. It's a bit too difficult at the moment but I know I will come back to it. I find there's something very therapeutic about the repetitive movement, feel, look etc. of a creating something with yarn and hook. I imagine knitting can be the same. Once I have finished with some chores around the house I am planning on sitting with my new project for a while for this reason.

Hope the rest of your day stays calm for you too Mohill 💛

Hi @unknown - I'm planning on coming back to your thread and replying when I'm not so fuzzy in the head, but wanted to say hi to you. I hope you're enjoying being here and it's nice to see you about too 🙂

@Shaz51 - hope today is going well for you too 🙂
