As you know, I have recently taken up crocheting as a new hobby for the year of 2013. I was excited to find out that this hobby takes more then a little effort, concentration, and time. So far I've made two headbands (one gray, one white), three head-warmers (a white one, a pink and purple one, and a blue one), and I have learned a few different types of stitches.
In the last project I did, I decided to challenge myself by adding a bow element to the classic look of the head-warmer. I also made the entire thing without a loom aid. It's pretty amazing what you can do using only a crochet stick and yarn!
The idea itself actually opened my eyes to something I had never thought about before. I have never thought about how the vast majority of Americans take clothes for granted.
The fact is... making anything in general takes time and effort. And the things we cover our bodies with in this material world are forever in high demand!
Remember to acknowledge that when you don't put the work in yourself, someone else did. Just for you!
