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.
Tension can be a tricky thing to master. This is why a lot of patterns will include a guage to indicate how big a certain number of stitches should be.
I tend to wrap the yarn throughy fingers on my off hand to help keepy tension consistent. I'm sure there are other tricks you could try too. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion?
Crochet has been the best thing for my ADHD. Giving my hands something to do why I listen to a lecture? Heck yeah
I started crochet around 7 years ago.
My girlfriend used to crochet bears for her kids. It looked like such a fun way to make a gift so I started watching YouTube videos on how to crochet. Still can't make a bear but I am great at blankets haha
I find it surprisingly easy to follow complex patterns. Makes it easy to stay interested when each row is changing.
I would love to learn how to do a tapestry. I don't remember what the stitch is called but I saw some posts on Reddit where people made these beautiful portraits with yarn.
Let's build a community for all who are interested in crochet. Why don't we start with a little conversation on how everyone got into the craft?
Let's get the yarn ball rolling!
