Craft Corner

Craft Corner

A place to chat and share all things crafty!

What's your favourite craft? Is there anything you're working on at the moment? What would you like to create/work on (I have heaps of "one day" project patterns and ideas that I know I will probably never get around to, but it's nice to imagine)? I'd love to hear!

I have absolutely no artistic side to me and stick figures are the extent of my drawing ability, but I really enjoy learning and trying out new crafts. I learnt crochet during a stay in a prevention and recovery centre and it's something I pick up often when I am feeling blue, I need a distraction or I'm just a little bored. I've tried paper crafts too, although I didn't really get far with anything. Sharpies are some of my best friends and when I find my hands need to move I have a collection of smooth rocks that I draw on (different coloured circles) which often relaxes me. Sometimes I dust off the sewing machine and sew as well. I walk around spotlight for a fun outing 😉

Looking forward to hearing from you all 🙂

Sometimes it can help to see pictures as well as use the videos.

This is single crochet (written as "sc" in a pattern) into the chain.

(Might help if I added the photo hey? 😉)

The very first row of single crochet is harder than all the others as they go into a chain stitch which is a little wonkier than an actual stitch. It gets easier from here ☺

Woohoo @outlander! This is exciting 😁😁😁

You got it! It's fun watching progress happen when you first start something like this. I have a little "yay I did it!" kind of feeling when I practice something and I can see it click and work.

Little stitch by little stitch and you'll get there 💗
