Definition of the Time Needed Scale for Crocheting a Project
This time scale is based on the time I needed to complete each project, including pattern difficulty, yarn, hook size, lighting, my energy, and the crochet skill level.
Quick & easy
Small and satisfying projects that can be completed in under an hour.
A weekend project
Short crochet projects that can be fully completed within one weekend with several relaxed crochet sessions.
A week project
Crochet projects that take several days up to a week, when crocheting in several shorter sessions over the week. After work. After that walk.
A long-term project
Crochet projects that typically take few weeks, usually worked over a couple of crochet sessions. Not the difficulty but time consuming.
Never-ending story
Longer crochet projects that take more time and can be an almost never-ending story. Often involving multiple pieces, repeats, or larger finished size. A WIP project that is waiting at the bottom of that basket.
Crochet fun facts and me
The Little Wins of Crocheting
Every crochet project, big or small, brings a sense of achievement. I love learning new stitches, testing new patterns, creating my own pattern and seeing a finished piece come to life. Crochet teaches patience, focus, and creativity - reminding me that even small, consistent efforts can create something beautiful. Think you can count? Try crocheting and pattern can prove you wrong.
Why I Crochet (almost) Every Day
Crochet has become more than just a hobby for me - it’s a way to relax, focus, and create something tangible. Every day I try to spend a few minutes with my hook and yarn or discover new patterns or different stitches. Even small projects bring a sense of accomplishment, and sharing my creations keeps me connected to a wonderful community of fellow crochet enthusiasts.
How I Started My Crochet Journey
I first picked up a crochet hook at the age of 10, learning basic stitches and making my first doilies. Soon after, I discovered filet crochet and loved using provided patterns. I took a small break during my teenage years, but after turning 25, I returned to the hobby with renewed passion - exploring all kinds of crochet projects, from home decorations to accessories.
