I’ve been crocheting for around 10 years now.
I started when I worked in a call center. I needed something to do with my hands and something to focus on (I have ADHD). When I was on a frustrated call, I’d crochet faster.
I’ve gotten pretty good at blankets and c2c designs. I’d like to learn more about mosaic and Tunisian. I’ve tried a bit of both and found it to be quite difficult.
I actually restarted with Tunisian at one point. It’s plastic, achieves 3D shaping, in a different way than standard crochet.
The fabric it creates is quite heavy, which it was used for throws and blankets in the Victorian era. You can however crochet in pleats and tucks. This can be great for shaping a sweater-jacket or a baby’s bunting bag.
