Actually crocheting!
- I like to single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, triple/treble crochet, and pick up new and fun stitch patterns.
- Stitching into spaces.
- Making shell stitches, v-stitches, bobble stitches, gathers, etc.
- Borders! Getting creative with borders on blankets is so much fun.
Getting things done!
- The feeling I get when I've finally finished a project.
- Giving away finished projects. Especially when the person is surprised at the quality of the work.
- Using or wearing finished projects myself.
Shopping and gear!
- Yarn shopping! Online or in a store, both have advantages. In a store I get to feel everything; online I get to read what someone else thought about how the yarn felt (and read reviews to see how it was to work with).
- Pattern browsing! I just love to dream about what I'll make next. Here again is a good place to read reviews and see what worked, and what didn't.
- Susan Bates aluminum hooks. So comfortable to use. I like the shorter neck and cut-in slanted throat (rather than a tapered throat and longer neck like Boye hooks).
