How much crocheting can you get done in 30 minutes?

For an intermediate crocheter, how much can you get done in 30 minutes of crocheting?

Well, I am an intermediate crocheter and it takes me all the same speed to create anything, so let's look into what I can do and you can do, in 30 minutes.

For an adult sized blanket, doing one stitch. Check out my two stitches adult blanket pattern here. I can do one complete row, doing one stitch, in 30 minutes. An adult sized blanket, is fun and also if you don't count stitches like me, it's actually relaxing. Plus, if you gift them, people love them and want more. So it's a great project to have on the side, when you relax at night and watch TV you can also be crocheting your blanket. It can take me months to complete a crochet blanket.  

For an adult scarf, I can complete two rows, using two stitches in 30 minutes. It's a similar pattern to the blanket, here is a blog post on how to make a scarf, with a video. Scarves just don't seem as fun for me. They still take a week or two to complete. Plus, in Australia it is cold for like 2 weeks and then you no longer need a scarf. So, there isn't much point in my eyes to make scarves. But it does depend on the weather where you live!

For a no sew amigurumi crochet pattern, which I have never tried before, I can do an entire no-sew crochet project in 30 minutes. I have only ever made 2 different types of no-sew crochet projects that took 30 minutes. They normally take me a few hours. But when you are starting out in crocheting amigurumi. It is best to start with a no sew pattern. This gets you used to the stitches and helps you feel good for making something pretty quickly. Plus learning to sew, takes time and practice.

For a sewing amigurumi crochet pattern, I can do one large body part, either the head or body in 30 minutes. If it is a medium sized object. 

There are even smaller projects, which I could crochet about 5 bookmarks in 30 minutes or less. Crocheting bookmarks are so much fun and they literally don't take long to make. Plus, you can make them all in different colours! Plus, they make great gifts. 

So yes you can crochet a lot, in some cases an entire crochet project in 30 minutes or less. I'm sure if you even crocheted beanies and hats and gloves, they may even be 30 - 60 minutes. The world when it comes to crocheting is limitless, I feel. Bascially you can create everything and anything and then crochet it using different colours. I always have projects ready to start but not enough time to do hundreds of them at once. I can seriously look online for patterns, paid or free, for hours, because they are all so cute!

Reshuffling my craft space for scrapbooking

When you feel uninspired change up your craft space  So I haven’t been scrapbooking as much because I have a set of drawers with stickers, washi tape and other cool stationery and then I have my tub of scrapbooking paper in my cupboard.  I was thinking about what I could do to bring my scrapbooking closer. Here’s a photo of my tub of scrapbooking paper. Look how undesirable it looks. Inside I have large paper about A4 size and A3. Then I have 12x12 inch paper. Plus an ice cream tub full of scrap paper.  It just made me feel unsatisfied and what makes me excited to work on a hobby is that I can see the resources and get excited to get started. But this set-up was not empowering me. I started brainstorming about maybe making a craft space. I found a table from IKEA with draws on both sides that I could put my scrapbooking paper and accessories in as well as my diamond painting. I also found a desk backing which is like a three level high shelving that attaches to the table....

What supplies do you need for crocheting?

So you have started crocheting. Crocheting is super fun and sometimes tricky and sometimes hard. Also, once you get started and if you are like me, you will have multiple crocheting projects happening at once.  There is a logical reason for this. Because you can have multiple projects at once because you may take different projects with you when catching public transport and have to go somewhere. So a smaller, easier project to pack is ideal and also it gives you something to do while you travel. You may have bigger projects like blankets at home, because they are simply bulkier and heavy to carry. Plus, I prefer to crochet blankets at night, while I’m winding down and watching TV. Mainly because I don’t count stitches for my blankets.  So I tend to do crocheting arigumani in the morning or day time on the weekends, so I have a focussed mind to count those important stitches.  Ok, so that’s why you could have multiple crocheting projects. The other reason is you simply ge...

Should I buy a crocheting kit or just a pattern?

  Well, I have written about how cool crocheting kits are previously but do you need a kit or just a pattern? Let’s explore both: A crocheting kit A crocheting kit includes everything you need to make that crocheting project once. It includes the yarn, stuffing, crocheting hook, sewing needle and pattern. A crocheting kit is pretty cool.   As long as you can read a pattern and know the stitches short names to what they actually mean. Such as ch equals chain and sc equals single crochet. If you know the crocheting terms, then you can read a pattern. The good news about the kit, is you literally have all you need to make the pattern once. Sometimes these crocheting kits, have more than one object to make as well. The kit will include all the coloured yarn for each of the projects as well. Because I use a big crochet hook, 5mm and in the kits the hooks are generally 3mm or 3.5 mm, I also know I can’t use the yarn provided. Because using a bigger hook means I need more...
