That if someone says "hey I have this idea for something, can you make it?" I can usually make what they want, without a pattern.
When it comes to something I want for me, I cannot do it. no matter how I try. makes no sense to me.
No matter how hard I try, I just can't do it.
Rarely do I keep things just for me. I make tons of market bags, take them to the stores and end up selling or giving them away.
This time I wanted to make me a lightweight sweater. jacket, whatever you want to call it. So I tried. I can see it in my mind. but I cannot make my hands do the same thing. Start, rip out, start again, change hook, change stitches, try again, still not right. Draw it out. sketch over and over. show family, yes it looks great they say. so stitch away, rip it out ..giving up.
Hate crochet block.
anyone need a market bag?

Times fly...
Time flies when you are having fun. that's the old saying.
But time flies faster it seems when things are not so fun. or at least to me they do..
Shall I post what all i have done since my last post? or shall i just say "much has happened, some good, some not so good" and just move on.
I think thats what I shall do. Move on.
I have taken my love of crocheting back.
For christmas money was tight, so i went through the yarn, and my imagination, and came up with an item both the gals here seemed to love.
I made them something to hang on a wall that they could put their hair ties, and clips on. it hangs on the wall using one of the Command type hooks, no nails in the walls. and they both seem to like it and use it.
For my son, i made him an item to hang on the wall, that he could store his game controllers, phone, glasses etc in at night when he heads to bed. it too hangs on the wall with the Command type hooks. looks similar to a remote control holder only more pockets.
Steven and I did not do anything for each other. we have all we need. We decided it was easier of us to just go to the store or wherever if we need it then, instead of buy it for a gift for each other later. Makes sense to me. hard to buy a surprise for each other when we shop together anyway.
My current project is a granny sweater. for once I am making something just for me. when it is done will post a photo. hopefully it will turn out as pretty as the one i am following the pattern for.
well guess thats all for now.
missing the crochet friends i knew. and hope they are all well.
