Crochetting!
Hi guys,
i recently started crochetting and i absolutely love it!!!
i made cute amigurumi animals for my family and friends.
is there anyone else who likes to crochet?
@GentleLily3
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

I learned to crochet from youtube! it is super helpful. you can buy your supplies from amazon as well!
@globalBraid3744 Hii i added my work to this thread if you wanted to see!
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 :)
Oh I love crocheting! But recently I’m unable to do it
@aluronicfexor Oh i see, may i know what happened??
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
@aluronicfexor oh i see, i am really sorry to hear that. How are you doing now?
better! But my body dysmorphia has been making me feel down and I might even be developing an Ed

@GentleLily3 I'm proud of you for taking on a new hobby. I bet you are doing amazing. Time after time I have tried to learn to crochet and I just never could get the hang of it. Lol. Would love to see some of your work. ♡
@GentleLily3 it's a great way to relax , do you have the sentro knitting machine or do it by hand?
@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? :)
@GentleLily3 that sounds really nice! Family has tried to teach me crochet, but I never got it haha. I'm glad you've found a hobby to enjoy!
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 :)
