I need to start crocheting...

United States
February 14, 2021 5:15pm CST
another pocket scarf. Luckily it's an easy pattern because I need to have it finished in five days. I'll be using the same pattern I used the last time and the same yarn as well. Making this for a friend. I guess two or three hours a day should have it finished in time. Are you completing any crafty projects?

The first time I made this I thought it would be hard, but it was just different. It works up fast once you get used to it.

Youtube is like wikipedia but with videos instead of words. At least, it can be that way.

No, I had a late day so this is the first time I've really sat down to do much of anything. My hair is clean so that's a bonus.

@ScribbledAdNauseum You shouldn't wash your hair daily, anyway. Many experts recommend washing two-three times a week. I personally do it one or two. I only washed it yesterday, because I could feel the grit and god knows hat else in it from getting caught in the rain.

@kaylachan I've tried many different techniques / non techniques for my hair. I've washed my hair only once per week, every day, and sometimes I've gone a month without washing (but still conditioning and combing it.)

I didn't feel like washing my hair in yesterday's shower and it made me realize I should probably get some dry shampoo for thoes days.

I don't think I will, as long as I don't get lazy and not want to do it. The most tedious part will be the starting chain.

Interesting... I've been considering finishing the bedspread I've got in my closet but have been too lazy to do it.

@kobesbuddy I made ear muffs this winter but have decided to put them in my scrap bag instead of wearing them. They will eventually be used as stuffing

I love pocket scarfs they are fun to make but take me a lot longer since the ends have to be longer. The only knitting project I’m working on is the rainbow blanket. Maybe my new boxes will be her before March or at the start of March

I think the last pocket scarf I made was around 258 as the starting chain? She and I are of similar height so if I don't finish this one I'll just give her mine.

I'm making this one out of 3 weight yarn so the only thing that should go in it is fingers. I want to make one out of soft, five weight yarn eventually.

The first time I tried to crochet I was around 18-19 years old. I picked it up again last year with the help of youtube videos. My problem was the tension at first.

That is really good. I am making a paint by number. Actually it is about finished now. I don't have too much more to do. I really like it. I will keep this one for myself, but I may do a couple more for gifts. They really don't look like paint by numbers. They just look like nice paintings.

I've done color by number type things and paint by number as kids. Do the adult paint by number portraits come with everything you need?

A lot of the craft stores have already begun to stock things for the spring / easter. I remember going to the craft stores with my mom as a child and how items would change. Mom used to shop the clearance section for previous season items.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Good luck with it. No, no projects right now. I am trying to work peacefully on the computer and try to have peace and quiet for my cat and myself but it is not that way. It is sad that there are those that do not mind their own business and have to make sure someone suffers at their hands because they are a bully.

Bullies seek attention. If you can ignore them, hopefully the bully will lose interest and leave you alone.
