Happy July!!! Isn’t this weather just amazing? But Urrrrghhhhh I’ve sooooo lost my crojo, after finishing helen shrimpton cosmic CAL I’ve been unable to find any enthusiasm in crochet at all! I’ve started so many projects, bought too many patterns and none of them are getting me going again! I’ve got so many wip too and again none of those are doing the trick.
I thought I’d try the Lilly blanket
Lovely isn’t it? What I didn’t realise is it’s made out of lots of small triangular motifs, and I quickly got bored.
Then I tried helen shrimptons nameless, got to round 7 and didn’t like the Daisy’s.
Then I thought I’d try this
Karroo vintage MAL, wasn’t quite keen on the way the pattern is written, so scrapped that idea.
Then a sirdar beach wrap, got bored of that very quickly.
Then about 4 drops designs, but those patterns are not the easiest to follow are they?!?!
Then I bout some beautiful rico cotton from blacksheep to make a drops pattern I can follow, but now I’ve done the intricate work that’s started to bore me.
Then yesterday I got so excited to start one of these little rico patterns
Started with Karl the bunny, finished the head and two ears, yet one ear is massively longer than the other! So I’ve now scrapped that……what’s wrong with me?!
I’m not sure what I want to be honest, but it’s not like me at all, i did finish my little box of crochet coastal shawl, but since then nothing
A brilliant design by @coastalcrochet and the little box of crochet was amazing!!
On a positive note we’ve only got 1 February 2019 place available for a crochet sanctuary weekend, and we’ve managed to secure Lindsey Newns from Lottie and Albert!!! As our guest designer, which is fabulous!!!
We’ve also got all of our other designers lined up for next year!! Apart from November Christmas event but I’m sure we’ll find someone equally amazing for then too.
Anyway, if anyone finds my crojo can they let me know? I’m missing it massively!!
Happy hooking xx
I know that feeling all too well!
I’m making a present for a birthday in July – that is keeping me focused at the mo.
The Karoo Vintage is on my list – I found Jen’s style took a bit of getting used to, but in the end I’m a fan and the textured pieces created with her patterns are just SO scrummy!!!!
Amigurumi is NOT my friend – I never get it right – never again!
Put is all out of sight for a while and your crojo will come back after a well earned holiday! 😉

I guess a Milk of Magnesia for crocheting is now a necessary technological advance!! The title made me laugh a lot!!

Hope you will find your crojo soon, the list you are showing is incredible! I usually stop crocheting when I can’t find my crojo and after a couple of days or sometimes a week or so I automatically start again with some good energy and make those WIPs disappear in no time!

I think it comes and goes like that sometimes. I had a rush of energy and crocheted a lot at the start of the year, but then slowed down to a crawl. Probably the weather being so hot. Hope it’s back to you soon.

I agree! I normally can’t crochet if I’m over tired or not well, it’s back now!!! But it lasted a good week, which isn’t like me, all sorted now lovely 😊
