Hey, I do not know how to crochet but I would like to learn it one day. How long did it take you to learn how to crochet? If you feel all right with it, I would love to see some of the crocheted animals you created :)

@globalBraid3744 Hi!! It actually took me like 2-3 weeks of practicing to get the tension of my stitches to be right and also to just get the hang of it! But after that it was not that hard. i will add the links to all the youtube videos i used that were helpful for me. but do give me time to add the pics as i need to search for them

Hey @GentleLily3, Thanks a lot for tagging me. The animals you made are extremely cute! How long does it take to make one? It seems like so much work. I can't even choose which one I like the most because each is awesome.

@globalBraid3744 hii!! you're welcome! okay so for time, the tiny animals like the seal, octopus and triceratops took me like an hour to do. The granny squares took like 2 hours? but honestly once you get the hang of it its really fun!!

@GentleLily3

You are so skilled! It would take me much more to do that, but it is encouraging to hear it gets easier with time. This is really a great hobby! And the most important is that it is bringing you joy and also to those that look at your work :)

aluronicfexor February 24th, 2023

Well I guess nothing serious happened I just started to feel like everything was worthless and would stay in bed doing nothing all day so I wouldn’t even crochet

@PugNinja i do it by hand!!

YourCaringConfidant February 25th, 2023

@PugNinja I've never been able to pick up crocheting despite my several attempts at it. I have watched many videos on the sentro knitting machine. Do you own it? Is it really as easy as videos and reviews say? :)

Hii!

Yes I learned to crochet during the pandemic, it’s a great hobby because I love making whatever I want.


It’s been hard to continue crocheting consistently but it’s easy to put down and pick up :)
