Hello and welcome or welcome back.

Today I am going to be talking about crochet bees. You heard me right crochet bees. I will also be sharing why it can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TAKE PHOTOS OF CROCHET THINGS!!!
aaaaaaaaaanyways, enjoy this post!

First off I am going to be talking about bees. these were the very first things that I made. They have improved so much that you can see a visible difference with each bee. they are fairly simple. Three different colours, two safety eyes, a yarn needle, a crochet hook, scissors, and around 30 minutes. That’s all. they are so simple to make, yet they are great gifts for people.

You can make this very simple project a little more complicated by switching up the colours. I personally like to experiment with different colour combinations and sizes. I have made bees that range from the size of a large amazon alexa to ones that can fit in your palm (yes I just compared crochet bees to an amazon Alexa. it was the only thing I could think of that was around the same size). There are soo many options for colours when it comes to yarn. the things you crochet dont have to match real life. A few examples that I can give you are:
-Blue and black stripes with white wings,
-All blue with black wings,
-Multi coloured (I used a multi coloured yarn) with black wings
-And I have made multiple Pansexual bees (pink, yellow and blue) for a few of my friends and I.

Now we get to the part where I complain about how hard it is to take photograps of crochet things. The problem is that I dont have a good spot to take pictues with a blank background, so most of the time, I have to put the bees on the floor and take photos like that. Anyways, enough of my complaining. Here are some crochet bees.

The first photo was of all the bees that I had made about a month ago, and the second was a pansexual bee.

 

that is all for now
thanks for reading!
bye.

 

Hello and welcome or welcome back to my blog.

today we have the second post in the geek out challenge. Today I am going to be talking about the top three best and worst things about crocheting. Please note that these are all based off of my own experience. More experienced crocheters may have different opinions.

The top three best things about crochet:

1. It is something that can keep you busy.

Crochet is one of those things that can keep you busy during long car rides, plane trips and more. (You can actually bring a crochet hook in your carry on) you can just simply focus on crocheting, but if I’m doing a longer project, I will watch YouTube or watch a movie. (A few good ones that I have seen are:

Encanto

Shang Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings

Captain Marvel

and Avengers Age Of Ultron.

2. You can make all sorts of things.

from clothing to animals, the possibilities are endless (Well you do have some limitations). I have made things like hats, blankets, bees and more.

3. You cam make things for yourself, other people, or even sell things.

crochet things make great gifts. You cam make someone something based on their preferred colours to make it more personalized, make their favourite animal, or even a new hat. You can also sell things. I sell the bees that I make for around $10 to my mom’s friends, and make some profit from it.

The top three worst things about crocheting:

1. Your fingers get tired easily.

When you are crocheting for long periods of time without taking regular breaks, your fingers get tired really easily. You need to take regular breaks to massage your fingers. Get some food or water. Use the washroom. These can all be excuses to get a break. It doesn’t matter if it takes you a while. Everybody moves at their own pace.

2. Loosing things.

From Yarn Needles to your initial crochet hook, unless you are really neat and organized, you are going to loose your crochet supplies from time to time. When you do, it can be really frustrating, just leave it for a bit, and then you will find it when you least expect it.

3. Prices

Some supplies can be really expensive. Depending on the yarn or wool, it can cost you $3-15 per ball of yarn or wool. Also when you loose things or something wears down. Then you have to buy new things, and they can be very expensive/

Hello and welcome back to another post. This time this post going to be the first of around 5 posts. As you may see by the title, I like to crochet. I actually sometimes even make money from it. This will be a quick blog post on how I got into crochet and some examples of things that I have made.
