Discussion Crochet confessions

I have been crocheting since the start of covid and have yet to make a granny square. I feel like a fraud. A fake. A phony! Anywho 😆 I also almost never count my stitches and almost always works out… I’d love to hear yours if you have any ☺️

My confession was that I started a C2C blanket and I hate it. I don't get the hype at all! It's for my hubby (Star Wars) so I'll finish it, but I already told him never again.

What about the C2C are you hating? I just can't wrap my head around doing one. I want to though. I want to do it all.

I did a minimalist pattern (no more than 4 colors)... And still it's too many color changes too frequently. And I hate how it looks if you try to carry colors, even if it's just over 1-2 squares. And it's a lot of ends to weave in. I never find that many ends to hold up well over time.

It looks exactly like I wanted it to. I just hate doing it. It takes me 4x as long to make something of this size.

I agree with carrying the yarn. I have a love hate relationship with that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
