So, you are a beginner of crocheting and you might be finding it quite difficult. I actually find crocheting and building miniature homes to be some of the hardest craft hobbies. But once you get going with crocheting it will be easier, I assure you.
The truth is as a beginner crocheter, you are learning so much
at the same time. For example, you need to learn the stitches, you need to get comfortable
with the tension around your fingers with the yarn and it is ideal if you learn
how to read a pattern. Plus, you might need to count stitches. This all adds up
to be an overwhelming experience for a beginner crocheter.
That’s why I created my eBook The Journey of crocheting for beginners by Melanie Toye. Not only to give advice for beginners
but also to give the confidence to not give up. I nearly gave up numerous
amounts of time and I definitely stopped doing certain projects as I was
learning because it was too stressful. This is ok, to start with its important to
learn the stitches and getting comfortable.
Crocheting is actually very relaxing. Especially, if you are
like me and crochet a blanket or scarf without counting stitches. You can sit
down and watch TV and crochet to your heart’s content without stressing about counting
stitches or if you are using the right stitch.
I remember my fingers hurting so bad after crocheting for a
short time when I first started. I read all about it, and everyone said it’s
the tension is too tight so its hurting your fingers. But I found I had to have
tight tension to ensure the yarn stayed wrapped around my fingers correctly. The
pain does go and just goes in time when you get comfortable with the yarn wrapped
around. So just take breaks at the beginning so your fingers don’t hurt too
much and know in time it will be less painful.
If the pain continues for over a month, then look at loosing
your tension, if possible.
I also recommend you join crocheting for beginners Facebook
groups. Many people write questions as beginners seeking help in crocheting and
the expert’s will be more than happy to give advice.
