I stayed at home again today. And though I felt perfectly fine by lunch time (after taking a couple of Tylenol) I wasn’t supposed to spend too much time at the computer or with my work.
To stave off the boredom, I decided to finally take a crack at my crochet project.
A couple of days ago, my grandmother got an incredibly tiny crochet hook and a ball of bright pink thread (yes, thread – not yarn. I will be learning how to crochet with ridiculously thin thread) and taught me how to crochet.
I can make a chain. And I can kind of make a double stitch and single stitch. And a slightly lopsided circle.
After an hour of sitting and squinting at my thread and hook, I managed to make a foot-long chain. (At this rate, I just might be able to make a small dishcloth by the end of the year. Huzzah.)
Needless to say, my interest was quickly waning. (Which is surprising, because I remember a period of time when I thought sewing was incredibly fun. I think I went through a phase where I thought I could make all the clothes I’d ever wear – but after making a skirt and a pair of pants and a really ugly shirt, that ended rather quickly.)
Anyway, I decided to head to the internet for some inspiration. And oh my goodness, there are so many Harry Potter-related crochet patterns!
Motivation found.
Maybe I’ll eventually be able to make something to wear with my cloak. But that’s a pretty big maybe, at the rate I’m going.
