Crochet journey begins

Blog post #4 (Crochet1)

15 Mar 2026

Story so far:

27 Feb: Found crochet hooks set in Tedi finally but didn’t buy it since I was not sure if I wanted to buy it or not

2 Mar: Went there again, but decided on buying it from Aktion since it was a prettier hooks set there, and even the threads were available. So yeah, finally bought it, first step done <3
Going to try to take better pictures next time xD

3 Mar: Day 1 of crochet trial probably, since I didn’t record the dates specifically, found a YT tutorial which was pretty good, but searched a few others only to get confused and returned to the original one! Since I usually give up on my hobbies soon, I am determined to do much better this time

Did this trial and error over a period of 4-5 days with a lot of bad single crochets.

14Mar: Found out that my cousin sister/best friend also did crochet from a whatsapp story of hers and couldn’t have been happier, I guess that’s what reminded me to try again today <3

15Mar:
So today is the day I made the most progress on my crocheting journey(6th or 7th day of trying this), I finally got a single crochet done and did upto 4-5 layers of it and also made a small, cute little purse ! <3 <3

I’m so happy. I’m also hoping that writing this blog would keep me accountable to this whole process.

I felt like I got lost in the process when I was crocheting, didn’t even realise when 1.5 hours had passed. Also I understood that the best way to move forward with this is to be okay with mistakes, even when I put the thread through the wrong loop, I continued, especially since I also felt more confident this time while doing it. Earlier for every small mistake I was restarting repeatedly.
It feels so nice to do this instead of using mobile, learning a new skill also. Too cool.
I keep thinking this is one of the hobbies that you can teach to someone else, reminded me of a school project where we had to teach someone how to tie a tie etc, and document it.
