When it comes to crochet I am the equivalent of a five year old child in a candy store, jumping from one project to another. I have been known to have up to 7 projects going at one time! Why all the chaos? The problem is...I hate to be bored and it could take time before a project begins to look like something recognizable. If you are not a crocheter let me just say that sometimes the moments get redundant. For this reason I tend to watch television while I crochet. I can get a project done real fast if I am watching a good show or movie. Other times my boredom does not stem from the fact that the project is redundant. Sometimes I am in the process of creating something fabulous when and idea hits me and I have to start on it right then! I just have to! I don't want to lose the idea (and I can't draw to save my life so sketching it is out of the question unless we crocheting stick figures). As longs as it is there in my pile of "needs to be worked on" stuff I won't forget it and one day life will be crocheted into it.
This chaotic way of doing things does work for me (crazy at it sounds). The projects do not sit long. It nothing major is going on (usually it isn't) I will declare it a "nothing but crochet" weekend and do nothing but crochet and watch netflix. For some reason this fuels me. As the pile gets smaller the more I want to crochet and get to the bottom, it's like a competition I am having with myself. I guess every artist has a method to their madness.
Currently I am working on a sailor dress for a baby girl but not an ordinary sailor dress. More like a sailor dress with a twist. I'm not revealing the twist until later. I have to give you something to look forward to. I am also working on a dog bed for my canine cousin Petey who lives with my his mother my cousin Lisa. My final project is a set. I have convinced myself it is time for me to make myself something nice so I have a hat, shawl, and purse set in the works. I plan for it to be amazing! We'll see if it actually happens though. I almost never finish anything I am making for myself. I always get distracted making stuff for others.
All this talk of crafting and creating has me itching to start a new project! Stay crafty and stop back by you never know what will happen in this chaotic crocheter's life. :)
