Yup

I decided to take an online quiz to find out what sort of crochet personality I have, and the results were not really a big surprise:

The Chill Stitcher

You're the cozy vibe we all want in our lives. You treat crochet like meditation—slow, steady, and deeply satisfying. Your favorite projects involve soft yarn, simple repeats, and zero stress. You’re not in a race to finish; your hook moves at the speed of serenity.

Your motto: “It’ll be done when it’s done.”
Signature move: Falling asleep mid-row and picking up exactly where you left off the next day.
Weakness: Gauge swatches. You’ll get to it… eventually.
Strength: Unbothered. Untangled. Unstoppable (in your own time).

I've never fallen asleep while crocheting, and my weakness is more like I skip doing the gauge swatches and just wing it, but the rest is definitely me.

I think the main issue I have is a lack of ambition. I'd rather make something I know well in a pattern I've made several times at a steady pace versus learning new stitches, techniques and patterns as quickly as possible. Then again, crochet is meditative and relaxing for me, so adding all that stress is something I'm not interested in doing. I'm fortunate in that I already know a lot of stitches and patterns, and the techniques I pick up from the tutorials I watch generally work themselves into my crochet.

Future Me, Checking In

The new thrifting & crochet blog has been such a joy for me to write that I'm now more than a month ahead on pre-written posts. Because I would prefer to be only a week ahead, I'm going to be doubling up for the next few weeks so I can stop getting so far ahead of myself. I think the reason I'm all about crochet these days is that I have no real limitations in regard to it. That has not been the case with quilting and embroidery, so it's a lovely change. I'm still as fast as I used to be when I was younger, too, thank goodness. I began this Iris throw (more on that in a few days) on January 27th, and this is how much I had finished as of last night (2/10). I have two or three more days of work to do and it will be finished. I needed some joy in my life, and this blog and all things crochet are providing that for me. I really couldn't ask for more. Stay tuned to see what I'm getting myself into this year, and how happy it's making me -- a...

Bucket List

This year I'll turn 65, so I am starting to put together a crochet bucket list. It's not because I think I'll be kicking the bucket any time soon, but while I'm still around there are some projects I'd like to make. It's also fun to compile a list of dream projects. This crochet version of a double wedding ring quilt definitely tops my list. I have a nice little collection of these quilts, and it would be fun to crochet one. When I first saw the Aura Mosaic Crochet Blanket I knew I wanted to make it. It's not that I dislike all the brightly colored Persian tile type projects, I just gravitate more toward earthy and nature-inspired palettes. This one is simply stunning. I'd really like to crochet a light and lacy duster like this one from Red Heart to wear. Mine would likely end up being a mossy shade of green or off-white. Speaking of mossy greens, this Mirrored Leaves throw was on the cover of the catalog that Herrschners sent wit...

Eight Plus Numbers

When I was looking up the retail on the small lot of yarn plus a tapestry kit I got a lot of surprises. This Red Heart Roll with It Sparkle skein in "Diamonds" was actually a cake that sells $10.99 on Yarnspirations. The lot included two Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo skeins, which retail for $8.99 each, and stuck in the center of the buff color I found a 5.5 mm crochet hook. This is a skein of 100% Icelandic wool, which can be really expensive. It's marked with a price tag of $7.00, and I found it selling for $8.00 online. The needlepoint kit is the biggest surprise of all. It makes a pillow, and hails from the UK, where it sells for £45.00 ($60.76 US). Since it's flamingos I definitely have to finish it if I can. Altogether my eight plus lot retails for $125.04; I paid $21.30 total for the lot with the buy-it-now option and one penny shipping. I indeed got a very nice bargain.
