Projects on the Hook
I promise, in a matter of weeks, you won’t be able to keep up with how many posts I’ll be doing. Just have to get through finals! So close to end of my college career and can’t wait to get more yarn in action. Currently I’m working on all kinds of odds and ends, anything to keep me sane amidst all the studying.
New thing I learned - working on a simple knit or crochet project while reading (this would work with any reading material, but I’m referring to text book reading) helps keep your focus on what you are reading. It honestly increases your reading comprehension. It’s like you keep the distractable part of your mind on the knitting, so you can actually maintain focus on the material without your mind wandering. Pure magic. And it makes you feel less pained about studying because you get to knit at the same time. Even just doing some simple garter stitch with left over yarn - the goal is the process, not the end project.
Check out the patterns I’m using right now for my random projects or things I hope to start soon. I’m a little too all over the place to actually get anything done, but I’m getting there. Join me and put these projects on your hook too! (=
Dog Toilet Roll Cover - one of those things we all swear we’ll never make, but then it is just too funny not to. I’m making one for my friends’ new apartment as a house warming gift. (=
Hippo! - This woman has the most amazing animal patterns. I want to be her. That is my new goal. I have been wanting to make this little guy for so long - it’s time to just do it. Probably one of those afternoon projects - doesn’t seem too complicated. And a great way to use up extra yarn! Check out her too-cute turtles too.
Chihuahua - I have been meaning to make this little guy for months. He is just so goofy. I’ll probably make the head a little less tall, but that’s just me.
Happy crocheting and check back soon for my versions of these projects!
