History

I started crocheting in 2013. I first started after I tried to learn to knit, it was a bit harder and I lost one of the needles. I then found out about crocheting, I had a single ball of yarn and like one needle trying to just figure out how it works. I both knitting and crocheting I learned to do from the internet. Reading hundreds of articles, and watching hundreds of videos, slowing them down, stopping them, and going back. Learning all by myself. That Christmas I got 6 huge spools of yarn from my grandma, they were on sale and she knew how hard I was working to figure it out. It was two red, two blue, and two white. I decided I wanted to try and make a "flag" or stripped blanket with these yarns. I started with scarf-sized pieces planning on sticking them together. I started with red, then blue, then white. I stick it all together but not gonna lie it was wonky. It was all over the place since I didn't know how to keep the sides even. I took a little break, probably from frustration and just life. I eventually took it back up and learned to make a hat, I still couldn't make an even blanket but I tried. I ended up making a few more wonky blankets, before finally realizing. I don't think it was still 2016 that I really got the hang of crocheting itself. But I think only since 2018 I've really upped my game. I learned how to make so many more things, and started taking yarn with me everywhere I went. I eventually made a little kit, and now in my purse whenever I go anywhere, I take yarn and my kit. And in 2020, I got a crochet hook tattoo on my forearm. I am so happy and proud of myself for learning this skill all on my own, it took years and a lifetime of frustration, but I can finally say I am good, and I am fully proud of my work, even when I mess up.

I have been blogging for years, at least since 2017, and it never felt right to just write off my crocheting works as regular posts on my blog Cermit Talks. I had many moments of finding myself and what my blog needed to be, and what I wanted it to be. Not until 2019 did I realize not just who I was, but what my blog meant to me. I decided I finally needed to make this blog. I had been wanting to probably since I started blogging. I love the crochet community and sharing patterns. I look forward to seeing where this blog goes.
