"Organized" Chaos
• Jul. 14, 2007 - Random Truths about Crochet
- I really do love the theraputic quality of repeating the same pattern over and over and over to keep my hands busy while I'm watching tv at night.
- Just like the kitchen floor, the crochet hook has a "magnetic" power to it - only it attracts children and babies who need mama to drop eveything to help them (often to the cry of "Potty! Potty! which is often a false alarm). Resulting in mama having to really THINK about what step of the pattern repeat she was on when duty called.
- I am not very good at it. As evidenced by the first two rows of the baby blanket I am attempting to create.
- NO matter how careful I am, each row seems to end differently than the rest of them! I'm sure I am going to have the most mis-shapen blanket in the history of the world!
- The Virgo perfectionist in me wants to rip it all out and start over, but the side of me who loves the feeling of completion says "just leave it, it is fine. The child who gets it isn't going to notice or care." I still feel guilty that a child would recieve a less then "perfect" blanket.
- As I see it, there will be one of two scenarios possible when Project Linus takes possesion of it.
A. The auixillary lady will present it to a child in need and the parent will think "how wonderful of someone to take the time to make this for my child!" OR
B. Upon presentaion the parent will think "holy cow, blind people can crochet???"  LOL
I'm going with option B at this point, because only a blind person could look at it and think it is wonderful! LOL
- It may not be pretty, but it's making me feel good to make it. Enough said.
