Since starting out as a crochet designer back in 2012 I have always set myself challenges. I love to push my abilities and see what I can achieve with anything in life and crochet is always a place where I feel safe to go that little bit further and see what I can do. Today I’m suggesting you to do that very same thing. Challenge yourself. Stretch those skills. Change that colour palette. Learn that technique. Crochet is absolutely about mindfulness and calm but I can’t tell you the joy that comes from pushing the boundaries and being more creative than you ever even knew you were. I’m not asking you to design anything, I’m not suggesting you wing it completely; I’d just love you to set yourself free and take your crochet to the next level. You can do it.
