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.

[@pieces_of_scrap]

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

[@Crochetbyenn]

Omg Casey that's why I think I would never be making crochet clothing 😅 And finally you are speaking something that I understand hehe which is market prep and amigurumu 😍 love you 🩷

[@pieces_of_scrap]

Haha thanks 🩷 you're so sweet!

[@briacrochets]

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!!

[@pieces_of_scrap]

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

[@oldmomma56]

I have half a dozen projects stalled at the moment, but I need to get my crojo out of hiding!!

[@pieces_of_scrap]

I think I'm finally out of my funk!

[@georgiacorey954]

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]

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

[@georgiacorey954]

@@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.

[@georgiacorey954]

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]

I'm definitely still working on that!

[@meaganm77]

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]

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!

[@carriewilson9932]

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.

[@pieces_of_scrap]

No problem 🩷 happy to help!

[@Stacymakes]

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]

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 😂

[@susiekeithahn1557]

Keep going! You’re awesome!! I love the thorough pattern reviews you do. They’re so helpful!!

[@pieces_of_scrap]

Thank you 🩷

[@heartscreations]

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

[@pieces_of_scrap]

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

[@luckybee12]

It would irritate me so much if I bought an octo and didn't realize until it was too late that there are 9 legs. Or any number of legs that isn't 8.

[@pieces_of_scrap]

Yeah I'm sure there would be a handful of people that would be confused 😂
