| Beginner crochet project. |
I finally did it — I completed my first crochet project.
Meet Fred the dino. 🦖
This is something I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. My mum was always really good at crochet. Growing up, I remember seeing her work, and somehow it always felt a bit out of reach for me. Like… I could do cross stitch, maybe some knitting, but crochet? Different story.
Recently, I kept seeing beginner crochet kits on Instagram, and I decided to just give it a try. I ordered one, thinking it would be a small and manageable first project.
The kit came with everything I needed, along with step-by-step video guides. It made learning crochet as a beginner feel less intimidating. I used this kit if you want to have a look: The Woobles Crochet Kit.
But still… it wasn’t as easy as it looked.
I had to restart a few times. Actually, more than a few. I kept losing count of my stitches — please tell me I’m not the only one 😅 — and every time that happened, I had to undo everything and start again. Typical perfectionist behaviour, and yes… I did get a bit frustrated at some point.
Funny enough, I caught myself thinking — closing monthly accounts feels easier than this.
But I kept going. Slowly figuring it out, one step at a time.
And then… somehow, it started to come together.

It’s not perfect. You can probably tell it’s a beginner’s work. But I made it myself, and that counts for something.
There’s something quite satisfying about creating something with your hands. I guess I’ve always liked handicrafts — seeing a piece come together is just… satisfying.

And now, Fred sits there as a reminder that maybe I can learn new things, even if it takes a few tries (or many restarts).
I might try another one… let’s see how it goes.
May xx
