I think I am near the end of this hyperfixation so this is more of a place holder to remember in case I want to go there again.
I always end up turning to crochet when im stressed but things are getting more chill and I am losing interest. At least this time I made useful things. I have a million throws, cushions, and jumpers at this point. And I learnt something new. I am still finishing two but then I think it’s time to move on.
One: I have found a new technique called Filet Crochet. Its one colour but looks like it could be a fun challenge as you work in posts using positive and negative space. It might be that an application comes up in future.

some origins
Two: I have gotten way into crochet sculptures through doing the tapestries as things have cropped online up when I have been troubleshooting. This is definitely where I would like to go in future, bit scary as I don’t think I have the pattern making skills yet, so it will be trial and error. I just need to wait for an idea that would require crochet.
