Yes, I would like you to know. That even as an intermediate crocheter, I still have complete fails. I am going to blame it’s the pattern, which is frustrating when I pay for it.
I have probably had more fails this year than ever before. But that’s probably because I have crocheted more arugumani this year than ever before.
I will admit, it may be how I am reading the patterns but I don’t think so because I read the patterns the same way each time and cannot stress enough that I have had a lot of successes.
Alright, here goes. Where most people would simply chuck away their failings, I am going to show you that it’s just part of crocheting that you may fail crocheting arugumani.
And that’s ok. Don’t live in failure just move on quickly to a different pattern, written by someone else.
So here goes:
This is what I have failed this year crocheting:
Can you tell what I was trying to make? Of course not! Haha it’s even hard for me to remember what it was supposed to be. And yes, they are each different projects and patterns.
So what is the below? Can you take a guess?
It’s supposed to be the body of a wombat. I found a free pattern and honestly, free patterns are either a hit or miss. But I really wanted to crochet a wombat and I still plan on crocheting a wombat, probably from a paid pattern in the New Year. But that, looks like a fat worm. Obviously I didn’t make anything else for it. I just ended it at the worm looking body. Took a photo for evidence, that even at my level which I say is intermediate… we still don’t get it right all the time.
The above is a Santa arm … does it look like a Santa arm? I thought it was weird at the time that I was crocheting a white sleeved shirt on a red body Santa… oh I read the pattern wrong, it should have been red yarn not white. Chuck.
What is this?? I don’t even know. I think it was a blue whale… this is the body. But to me it doesn’t look like anything… so it went in the bin. Another free pattern.
I have no memory of the above. I must have let it go when I chucked it.
I have to say, the above I reckon looks like a tiny hat / beanie … maybe. But it’s actually the entire body of a rhino… yeah right. This was from a paid pattern and I love rhinos and really wanted to make one, so I am disappointed in it.
And for the final piece, I decided to create my own pattern… a flat coaster for Christmas. I didn’t look up any patterns, I went rogue and failed miserably. Ha ha.
So overall, it’s not a huge amount and I probably made triple the amount of crochet items this year that succeeded. But I wanted to show you how even more experienced crocheters still fail sometimes. Sometimes it’s the user and sometimes it’s just the pattern. Let it go and move on.
Oh and I don’t have a picture but I bought a unicorn crochet kit, crocheted it three times. It never worked. Looked up a different unicorn free pattern and succeeded. So yes, sometimes it’s really the pattern.
I hope seeing my fails inspired you to keep trying, change patterns and try again at what you want to crochet, if it doesn’t work out the first time.
