The fear of crocheter

You can search “coaster flower pot crochet” on the internet and there would be quite many free patterns to choose. Mine was inspired by the pattern of HyggeCrochetCo!

It will get here, but the day you don't care that something you crocheted is being used properly is coming. There's a different sense of joy and pride. Right now, it is a lot of work and it's hard, but later just watching the person you gifted it to actually using it is just so awesome.

[@piggylady225]

Yes!!! I do stuffed animals, and the first few I made I was fairly defensive over, kept on my shelf, etc. Fast forward to now, I spent 6 hours working on a ladybug, threw it into my preschool classroom and let the kiddos go ham with it. I consider it free product testing for when I eventually sell them! 😅

[@twistedoldloony]

I made several oven mitt/pot holders with a mix of knitting and crochet and I’m so happy every time my sister or sister in law posts a picture where they are cooking something and using them!! And at my house we use them literally every day!! Honestly they are probably the most well used items I’ve ever made!!

[@louisgrissman4857]

That is also when you realize that the opposite of creation is not destruction, but abandon. Destruction can often lead to something new, while abandon is mocking creation by never being used.

It super helps to start with a higher quality material that you know you can wash easily. That was when youre done you feel confident enough to use it. Secure any loose ends and tighten your stitches a bit as well if youre worried youll end up washing it a lot.

[@mihaelakinna2344]

It's so impressive! You did a very good job! And the fact that it looks like a flower pot if put together is so cool

[@Tamara-fb4so]

Pretty coasters! Remember drips (stains) are signs of love. I use very old dish towels that my mom embroidered. Yes, just for wiping water, but I use and love them everyday. They do have a few love marks, but they're not rotting in a storage box.

[@RemainAnArtist]

Yes! Stains and other signs of wear and use are a testament to the fact that the items are truly appreciated and fulfilling the purpose they were made for -- it's like a patina of love. When you look at it through that lens, everything just gets more beautiful over time.

[@Tamara-fb4so]

[@nowitchisanisland]

Exactly, it's super heartwarming to see the use in handmade things 💜

[@ferretyluv]

Yes! I would be very sad if something I made for someone was super clean because it means no one ever used it. I crocheted some rainbow coasters for a friend and if she wasn’t using them I’d be crushed.

[@tatsmoi]

Qué precioso punto se vista ❤

[@lostcontrol1981]

That’s a beautiful coaster set! It’s true - when you make something people often don’t realize how much work goes into it. I spent MONTHS knitting socks with fancy alpaca wool - and I kept them for myself!

[@satsumamoon]

How does it take so long?. I made Pisqu socks by leslie Comstock in 6 days , do you have a more elaborate pattern I could try?

[@firegodessreiko]

As you should! Lol

[@firegodessreiko]

​@@satsumamoon it all boils down to yarn and needle size, pattern, skill and experience level and time you have available to actually sit and work on socks.......as well as the mental fortitude to knit on something as stab-your-eyes-out boring as sox.....of which I have none. I literally have a pair in one of my project bags that I've been "working on" for a few years. 😅

[@lostcontrol1981]

@@satsumamoon - it’s the finest yarn I’ve ever used - almost like thread - and it’s an alpaca wool that’s just beautiful. I am using the thinnest double point knitting needles our local shop had - and I had to use 5 DP to fit all the tiny stitches on them. I also have never used double points before so it’s taken me a bit of learning. I also am a university professor so was knitting and marking assignments - so didn’t get to spend more than about an hour a day on them. I’ve made entire adult sized sweaters much faster - but then you’re using bigger 6mm sized needles and thicker yarn - so it knits up much faster. These little 1.5 mm needles are very thin.

[@satsumamoon]

Ah! Thats.how. One hour per day and teeny needles. I didnt realize there were needles smaller than 2mm Thanks for answering. Im going to look on ravelry for things using 1.5mm needles. @@lostcontrol1981

I might just be a poor dingus, but Stains give stuff character.

[@beardiemom]

Those coasters are absolutely gorgeous! I'm learning to crochet right now and to combat that fear at least somewhat, I am only using machine washable yarns (lucky for me, I also just love the way cotton feels on my skin) But also, something I try to keep in mind with any crochet project that is meant for use or wear: Stains and other signs of wear and tear are just proof that the item has been loved and appreciated, instead of wasting away in a closet never to be seen.

[@Bekkmyster]

Just keep in mind that even machine washable will break down faster in the washer than hand washed

[@beardiemom]

@@Bekkmyster True, I'll probably stick to hand washing them, then. I want to keep those pieces for as long as I possibly can.

Good attitude! I make kippot which are worn nearly constantly. I give careful laundry instructions but always worry that they will stretch the kippah completely out of shape. I get mostly repeat clients, so I guess I build tanks, lol!
