That tank top looks like the perfect first top to try out. I’ve been looking for an easy one to try for summer. Losing motivation is hard. I tend to burn myself out on hobbies quickly, but crochet has been my longest going one yet. Glad you are still enjoying it as well 💜

Yes I'm glad I'm not burnt out anymore, I'm definitely burning through all my yarn market prepping right now 😅 I'm gonna have to do another big yarn order soon!!

I understand the disappointment. I started to crochet a temperature blanket last year, got half way through, and decided i hated it. It sat for months and I was distraught (overexageration here lol) at the though of ripping it, BUT i finally did. I found a patchwork blanket pattern that I LOVE to repurpose the yarn. I am so glad i made the decision even though frogging a lot of work is discouraging, making something you really love makes it worth it.

It really is worth it to make something you love. I hate having something lie around that I never use.

I've had that problem with the Moss stitch drawing up smaller than I thought it would too. I started doing 4" swatches to test stitches & yarn before doing garments, it has helped.

@pieces_of_scrap 5 ай бұрын

That's definitely helpful. I tend to be too lazy to make swatches when patterns call for them 🙈

@@pieces_of_scrap awwe I get it. For me, I decide that it takes more time to work up a garment & then rip it out versus doing the swatch. Best wishes.

Losing motivation is SO hard. I'm in one of those right now, and I'm just trying to work on things that actually inspire me. Like projects that are completely different from what I usually make. I decided to start making stitch markers! Thanks for the video!!

I love when people make their own stitch markers!! So cute!

I also have a hard time charging enough for my crochet items for people I know. Lately I'm just making what I want rather than on orders. Its been great for my mental health. Thank you for sharing these patterns. I am going to try the jelly fish next.

Did you do a gauge swatch for the jumper? That might have helped you. It looks like you used a heavier wt yarn than it called for? Jiat a thought for the future to save you the disappointment 😊

@pieces_of_scrap 5 ай бұрын

I agree, I should've swatched, but I did use the same weight of yarn she recommended in her pattern. I definitely still need to learn from this 😂

@georgiacorey954 5 ай бұрын

I agree that getting paid fairly for my time keeps me motivated too. Otherwise everything is a gift, which is cool too. However when you have expenses to pay & don't ask for a fair wage for your time to do that, that's mistreating yourself. Respect yourself & others will too.

@pieces_of_scrap 5 ай бұрын

I'm definitely still working on that!

I think it's cute! If it's made of cotton wont it shrink if you wash it.

@pieces_of_scrap 5 ай бұрын

Cotton will shrink a little if you dry it with heat.

Sorry the jumper didn’t work out. It is so frustrating to work on a project for a long time and not be happy with the result. I am glad that this doesn’t only happen to me 🤣. I had a time where I made 3-4 garments in a row that just didn’t turn out right and it was so discouraging. Love the jellyfish plush-so cute!

@pieces_of_scrap 5 ай бұрын

Yeahhhh I'm pretty sure that is exactly why I stopped crocheting years ago. It was so discouraging to finish something just for it to be too big for me to wear. That's why amigurumi is so satisfying!
