In a topsy-turvy world it can sometimes be tricky to keep your spirits up and find the time and energy to dedicate to the things you love. I recently found myself having to think hard about what crochet meant to me after having to have a break from it. I’m so happy to say that in no time at all I was back on track and enjoying my craft more than ever. So if you find yourself needing a bit of a cro-jo boost I want you to know that you are not alone. It happens to all of us and it’s possibly the best thing that could happen. It can give you a chance to rediscover and reconnect so that you can enjoy it with renewed energy and drive.
HOW DO I KEEP UP MY CRAFTING SPIRIT?
It seems odd to say that something that we all love should need a reboot every now and again but even the things you enjoy most in life sometimes need refreshing and seeing through new eyes. Whether, like me, you have to take a break from it, you get stuck in a never-ending project (we’ve all been there…) or you lose your momentum and can’t decide what to start next, then there are some really simple steps you can take to keep moving forward and keep finding pleasure in all things crochet.
