Grandma’s skills: leveled up! (Aurélie, France)

The last month of volunteering is already halfway through… so today, I decided to share my personal project with you. At first, I thought I could create something *grandiose* like a blanket or a cardigan, but I quickly realized that crocheting isn’t as easy as it seems -especially when it comes to making clothes (and starting from scratch)... You realize something's wrong only after hours and hours of work... 😅
So, here I am, sharing my final 'babies' (2 tank tops and a short -I love summer, okay)!

I have so much ideas in mind for future crochet projects but, everything will be done all in good time...!

But let’s rewind a bit first: I’ve always been interested in manual hobbies but I could never find the time to learn. So, when Maja mentioned that she was crocheting, I jumped on the occasion -I had long wanted to create things with my own hands! After a short introduction at the end of March, I started looking and exploring through different tutorials and videos, trying to figure out what I wanted and mamma the options are endless! ​You have to think about what you want because the final product can vary so much depending on the knot you choose! 😍 And that’s the magic of crocheting! ✨ You can like a particular knot and use it to create almost anything you want hihi!

So yeah, over these 9 months, I’ve learned and crocheted a lot, doing my best with the yarn (and skill level) I had! 😓 I definitely want to keep crocheting in the days, weeks, and years to come. I’ve got the materials, the yarn, and the doigté now 💪🏼.
My next goal? Who knows… maybe that cardigan I’ve been eyeing for weeks now… 👀 Or a beanie, since winter is already racing towards us, just around the corner 🥶

Se vidimo... Soon enough :)
