CROCHET STORY OF no_way_crochet :  h ttps://instagram.com/no__way__crochet?igshid=1tyodo7uif7cr I very much fell into the world of crochet and it was honestly the best thing to ever happen.  I lost my nan January 2020 and 3 days prior to her death my sister told me she was pregnant with her first baby. My nan had made me a blanket when I was born which was a big comfort to me growing up and I still have it to this day, 26 years later. She had also taught me to knit as a child and so I decided I was going to knit the baby a blanket in homage to her.    I had never made anything more than practice rows of a scarf so I decided I was going to do squares for a patchwork blanket. I then learned the best way to add the squares together was to crochet them. Then with a gifted hook from a friend and a YouTube I figured how to crochet the squares together and even managed to crochet his initials to

Yarn storage can become a real headache for many crocheters or knitters. You can easily end up in   piles of tangled yarn without being able to find what you need when you need.      Today I was browsing Facebook and one post got my attention.

Crocheters are  constantly arguing about how to hold the hook correctly.  I think those who hold the hook like a knife have heard repeatedly: “How do you even crochet?  This is wrong and inconvenient!  And in general, your stitches will be crooked! " So I decided to try and crochet holding like a pen. Holding like a pen Holding like a knife  I realised that both ways are absolutely possible for me but now holding as 0 knife is more natural for me even if it can be wrong for so many people.

For my own curiosity I did a survey on Instagram stories to see how many people hold like a pen and how many hold like a knife. The result is photo below  As we can see 56 people hold as a pen, against 50 hold as a knife. It proves again that both ways a

You will get the same benefits as from meditation.   After you muster these skills and they  become something mundane for you, that is, you will not  check your every step, when  the whole process will be programmed and  your brain begin to relax, you will begin to relax deeply .  Rhythmic, repetitive movement and relaxation have the same benefits to y
