Over the past 3 months I have taken up crochet for my free inquiry project. I have really enjoyed learning this new skill, and will definitely continue with it over time. I have made many projects over the past few months, including about 50 mini hearts, 1 blanket, a few granny squares, coasters and more.
Below I’ve included a picture of the blanket I made. The entire blanket it made of half double crochets. This took me roughly 6 weeks from start to finish, working on it when I had the opportunity. I used 10 skeens of yarn, which came out to about 1200 yards of yarn. I definitely could have made it larger, but I had already bought so much yarn and I was getting tired of working on the same project. In the future when I make a blanket I will try making it out of granny squares so I can work on one piece at a time.
I enjoyed the benefits of crochet, like a lower screen time, less stress, and the confidence boost gained through creating something. I am planning on making friends and family slippers for christmas which is exciting. My mom made me a yarn advent calendar this year, so I don’t think I’ll be dropping this hobby anytime soon.
