And…
Day 30!: What’s your name on Ravelry? If you don’t have a Ravelry account, why?
Who’s not on Ravelry? If you are not, you are missing!! I’m mariamagnetica.
30 days of crocheting
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 29
Day 29: Do you have any tips, or things that you’ve learned from crochet?
- Crochet Is Art, but don’t be scared, it is very friendly! Have fun!
- Yarn people are awesome! Go mingle! Have fun!
- Do not forget to eat, sleep, shower and talk to people. Also, open your hands often. You have to let go of the yarn and hook, yes, and that hurts, but it’s important.
- Did I mention? HAVE FUN!
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 28
Day 28: Do you do any other crafts besides crochet? What are they, and did learning to crochet come before or after learning these other crafts?
I learned to do many things as a child (crafty mum, Catholic all-girls school…). I did a lot of cross stitch before, but then I got tired – it was too heavy on the eyes and required a lot of concentration and work (since I only worked on big projects).
Here’s some of them:
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 27
Day 27: How do you acquire most of yarn? Online retailers, local yarn shops, swaps, or large chain craft stores? What’s your favourite?
I buy at local yarn shops. The ones “around the corner”, their owners are not precisely the most amiable people on earth, so I mostly buy at this big store, where they have a ridiculously small selection but at least it is all at my hands (I can touch it all!!) and they give me all the time in the world. (Picture me juggling 5 different skeins back and forth checking if the colours go well together…)
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 26
Day 26: Have you ever been a part, or wanted to be a part of a crochet-a-long? What was it? If not, why?
No, I haven’t and I am not much interested, although I haven’t looked much into it either. Basically, any kind of structure, deadline or commitment, kills all the fun for me. I’m a rebel and a loner. 😉
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 25
Day 25: Do you have a crocheting book or a place where you keep patterns, ideas, size measurements? Post a picture of it!
I have a regular boring gray cardboard file with a few printed patterns. Most of my stuff is digital, stored in my computer or Google doc.
30 Days of Crocheting Challenge – Day 24
Day 24: Have you ever made your own pattern or dyed your own yarn? How did it turn out?
Dye yarn? What for? (I’m kidding). I modified a pattern once. I would like to make my own patterns at some point.
