Working on my unfinished projects

I am cleaning up my study. A box of unfinished crochet projects keeps taking up space and I would really like to "get rid" of it. I discovered the crochet along events on Instagram since March 2022, and I just kept crocheting the required first part of the patterns, and moved on to the next. Hence, the box just sits there and keeps receiving unfinished crochet work from me. I finally started working on one doll yesterday, and got it done. Now, my children have a new doll to play with and the "unfinished box" has lessen its burden a little bit. Now I am going to pick the next one....

I always admire people who can crochet. I love crochet stuffs and as much as I wanted them, I want to learn how to make them but I just can't. No matter how eager I watch on tutorials, I just can't and it's so frustrating. Keep doing more dolls, sell them and so you can earn money doing the thing you like.

I understand how frustrating it is especially when you don't know how to do and there's no one there to guide you. Maybe you can find someone near you teach you how to crochet. It would be nice if someone there can guide you through, especially the basic stitches. It took me quite a while to finally manage to crochet a small object, though it was still made wrongly. I couldn't get the stitches right. I wanted to crochet the hair for a knitted doll as a birthday gift for my girl, so I forced myself to make... That's my motivation to start crocheting. If not, maybe I'd just quit crocheting. I am currently just making these dolls/toys for my children. Maybe it'd be nice to be able to sell them in future.

@kaka135 it's a good source of money if you can sell them. Crochet items are expensive so check carefully how you price them. Hope you can make it a small business soon.

At one point, my mother tried to finish off one project a week as she had quite a few unfinished ones. Your little doll is very cute.

Thank you! That's a good plan - to finish off a project every week. Sometimes I am just too tempted to start a new project when I found a cute pattern.

@kaka135 I can understand that. My mother went to a handcraft group each month and they'd learn a new skill each time but rarely managed to finish the project before they learnt a new one.

Recently, I was doing some cleaning up of my crochet workspace and I found so many unfinished projects. Some I frogged and others I just kept aside to kiv for some future time. I hope I can finish all of my unfinished projects.
