What Do You Mean My Crochet Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect?

No, those 70 granny squares you crocheted don’t all have to be EXACTLY the same size and shape. You’re not a machine, for crying out loud!

Now that Christmas is over, I can get back to writing and tell you about all of the crocheting I did to create gifts for family and friends.

If you haven’t subscribed to Medium, you can read all of my stories, including this one, “paywall-free” on Ko-fi.

I know, I know, Christmas has been over for over a month. So you’re probably asking,

“Where have you been?!?”

I’ve been asking myself the same question. But I decided to let it be okay to take some time off from publishing. As I’ve said before, I tend to write in spurts, going all out for a while, followed by periods of no publishing at all. I still write — in my daytime, dream, and tarot journals. And I crochet.

My intention is always to start crochet gift projects in September, giving myself a solid three months to get everything done. But I always seem to delay and have started as late as November a couple of times. This past year, I got started in October. Not September, but close enough.
