    I’ve been crocheting on and off for 2.5 years now. I tend to go through periods of crocheting all day every day and then switch to a total lack of interest for months. I started when my husband and I were super poor and looking for hobbies to do together. We got two balls of yarn, a cheap set of knitting needles and two crochet hooks. We tried knitting first and didn’t like it. We switched to crochet and it clicked for me. Now I love making amigurumi as I can’t stand making bigger items where I have to count stitches. I’m starting to freehand things and am hoping to maybe learn to make patterns myself.

      I gotta get that. I tried knitting first and spent months being frustrated that I could get anything to look how I intended. Tried crochet and felt like I had been doing it my whole life.
