Crocheting as my Hobby

Crafts have always had a space in my heart ever since my childhood. In fact, my biggest childhood dream is to have a bookstore with lots of craft things in it. Sadly, I didn't achieve that dream of mine. Instead, what I have is a cabinet dedicated for my crafts (lol). In this article, I will focus on one of my favorite crafts which is crocheting. **Crocheting** Crochet is a textile-making technique that involves interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or other materials with a crochet hook. Crocheting serves as my creative outlet. Through crocheting, I was able to pour my creativity and produce products that reflect my personality. I considered myself kinda creative but I tried several creative hobbies but nothing stuck around for long but surprisingly crocheting became my go-to-hobby every leisure time of mine. However, It is much more than just a mere creative hobby. It is also a relaxation. Crocheting is fun and relaxing. Just like any other hobby, it relieves stress and helps to release some negative energy and it yields a gift that is handmade, durable, and inexpensive. ***Here are some of my crochet projects*** **Coaster**      This is my very first crochet project. I love coffee so a coffee coaster is the first thing that I thought I should make. I made a sunflower-like coaster and I like how it turned out even when I was only a beginner. Not bad for a beginner, right?

Crochet coasters are easy to make and are perfect for using up little scraps of yarn and can be made in a variety of patterns, from the most basic to the most intricate.  **Book mark** My next cute crochet project is this flower-themed bookmark. A crochet bookmark is a fast and simple way of producing a unique handcrafted gift in a short amount of time. It is the perfect project to make use of the leftover yarn scraps. You can gift this to your friends and family.

**Round Table Top Cover** Initially, what I planned to do is a floor crochet mat. However, I ran out of yarn of the same colour and size so I just used it as a round table top cover. I only completed this project in about 2 hours. I’m happy with how this turned out. It is perfect for my white table and it blends with my other table top decorations.

**Cell Phone Drawstring Pouch**     My next project is something functional since It can really protect my phone from scratches. When I completed this project, I felt a sense of fulfillment because I created something useful with a touch of my personality.

I am looking forward to making more crochet projects in my next leisure time. For now, I do crochet projects for myself and friends. I don't have yet plans on selling crochet items as I know that I'm not that good yet in crocheting.
