After lots of deliberation, I finally ventured into crochet, and it’s been fun and really easy. I took a half day course and was able to do the basics with confidence by the end of it. And I was able to crochet things straight off and in quick time. I crocheted this phone cozy for my husband in a day.

And I made some tie-backs for the curtains in a few hours.

And this lap blanket of 25 granny squares was completed within 6 weeks.

My crochet friends all say that it’s more satisfying than knitting, in that crochet is (usually) quicker. Well that’s certainly true as knitting was never this fast. But I still have a soft spot for the needles, but now I can alternate between knitting and crocheting. As they say, variety is the spice of life.
