#14 Teaching Others to Crochet Jun 01, 2017

Show notes

Teaching Others to Crochet can be so much fun! I have been teaching others to crochet for more than four years now and I’ve yet to find something more rewarding. I get so much joy out of sharing something I’m so passionate about to others who then go on to make it their passion. It’s a beautiful circle! Any one can teach crochet. You really don’t need a special degree or certification, you just need patience and of course, know the content you’re teaching. Now if you’re going to make it a career, requirements are a little different but for many

#13 Choosing the Right Yarn for Your Project May 25, 2017

Show notes

Yarn Can Make or Break Your Project I was asked recently how choose yarn for my projects – pick the project and find the right yarn or vice versa. The short answer is vice versa! I rarely ever choose the project before the yarn (unless I’m following a pattern of course). This way of designing may be a bit backwards from my fellow designers but it’s how my creativity works. The yarn always decides the project. No matter how your creative juices flow, this session will help you determine what important yarn qualities to consider when choosing a yarn. There are four

#11 Expressing Yourself With Crochet May 11, 2017

Show notes

You put a little bit of yourself in every project you make. For most of us, crochet is life. We live and breath double crochets and yarn overs. It’s the single activity we look forward to every day and the only thing that makes our hearts pitter patter when we stroll down the yarn isle. We live to create with our hooks, hands and favorite yarn. It’s passion. When you’re as invested in something as we are, you put a little piece of yourself into every project you make. As we move from one project to the next, we discover

#10 Staying Motivated & inspired to Finish Projects May 04, 2017

Show notes

It’s completely normal to “get tired” of your current project. We all go through dry spells of inspiration and motivation with our crochet projects – maybe even our hobby as a whole. When we realize we aren’t alone and that these feelings are completely normal, we can focus on getting back on track. Today’s Guest Today I had the opportunity to speak with one of the nicest human beings on the planet, Ashleigh, from Sewrella. We talk about ways to stay inspired and motivated through big and small projects. She brings the goods guys! If you find yourself needing a

#7 Break Free From the Tutorial Habit Apr 13, 2017

Show notes

You think you’re a visual only person. I’m here to convince you otherwise. The concept for this topic came early in my preparation for the Master Crochet Patterns segment because I set out to find a solution for those who have convinced themselves that they can only follow a video tutorial. What I’ve found throughout my research and preparation is that it isn’t so much a question of “can” but “will”. I’m a firm believer in that anyone can learn a topic if they have the right motivation, guidance and support. That’s exactly what we’ll address in this week of the B.hooked

#6 Focus is Key to Successfully Reading Crochet Patterns Apr 06, 2017

Show notes

When you know how to stay focused and recover from distractions, you can eliminate the frustrations of learning. It may seem a little crazy to teach the topic of staying focused but humor me for just a minute (40 to be exact). We live in a world that’s full of wonderful and not so wonderful distractions. This is okay for us to pivot around when we’re doing something that we already know how to do – cooking dinner, laundry, our work routine – but it’s detrimental to our success when pairing distractions with a new learning venture. I’m going to

#5 Understanding Crochet Pattern Repeats Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

Understanding Crochet Pattern Repeats The large majority of crochet designs include some kind of repetition. We repeat stitches and rows and anything in between. The repetitive motions of crochet is without a doubt one of it’s more soothing qualities, at least for me. However, in terms of crochet pattern repeats it’s usually the component that causes us the most stress and sometimes, throwing in the towel for good. Understanding repeats is step six of our Master Crochet Patterns segment. I’ve set out on this long journey to help you learn to read crochet patterns because I know how finally “getting it” will
