All the things I Crocheted in 2024
Knit-like beanie for Gabe. He wanted it more slouchy. Way easier project compared to the baby booties.
Navy Blue Long Sleeve Cardigan for Kai. It was fun making this cardigan and loved how it turned out.

2024, The year I learned how to crochet :)
I have always wanted to learn how to crochet, but it has seemed so daunting and hard to me. Finally finished my failed knitted blanket so I thought I would give it a go.
Got a ball of yarn from JoAnn and Melanie let me borrow her 4.5mm Clover crochet hook. Searched up a tutorial on single crochet and began. Starting it was hard because I was not used to holding a hook and also, in general the start of any crochet project is typically hard because there isn't much to grip onto. Eventually I got the hang of it by like the 3-4 rows. Then I started to learn and do double crochet on a few of the rows. Ended up making a narrow rectangle sleeping pad for Mello. I pretty much just stopped once my ball of yarn was gone. Somewhat successful first crochet project.
Learning is honestly the hardest part and then after that, learning other stitches is pretty easy and straight froward. Compared to knitting, I always had trouble learning other stitches besides the very basic one. Personally, I definitely like crocheting more than knitting. I like being able to see the whole progress of my work without it all bunching up like with knitting and also able to identify my mistakes and easily fix it.
Crochet was also a source of comfort, peace and distraction for me with Mello's sudden passing...
I have been crocheting now for over a year and it's been fun. Just wished I didn't get hand pain so often, I am assuming it has to do with crocheting and also with work with the way I hold my mouse/type on the keyboard. I am definitely no expert at all and continue to learn every day. Hoping to maybe one day create my own pattern and creation.
I have neglected this blog ever since Mello passed away...
I feel like I have changed too because of his sudden passing...
This past 1.5 years have flown by and parts of it has felt like such a blur.
I do want to start blogging more again.
Not sure who still follows/read my blog.
If you are still here, Hello and thank you for reading :)
