I couldn't be a tradwife even if I tried 😅🧶
Hi!
Guess what I’ve been doing all morning.
I’ve been teaching myself a new crochet stitch.
It’s a waffle stitch, and it’s called that because it has a cute little waffle pattern.
It has this really nice texture. It gives everything you make with it a really appealing look.
My stitches aren’t like that.
They’re functional. They hold together. But they’re pretty basic.
And it’s part of the reason I lost interest in crocheting for a little while.
I had hit a plateau. I could make hats. I could make a scarf. If I put enough scarves together, I could even get a blanket going.
But it was pretty limiting, and I just didn’t have the mental energy to learn anything more advanced.
I tried, but my brain would get kind of mushy. Nothing made sense. It just didn’t click.
So once everyone had a new scarf and hat, I put the yarn and hooks away.
But lately, I’ve been jonesing for a hobby that keeps my hands busy.
I’ve got coloring books when I’m in the mood to mindlessly fill in blank spaces. Jigsaw puzzles have been fun, too.
They weren’t quite doing it for me, though. I missed feeling like I was actually making something.
I love me a practical hobby. And as nice as it is to put together a few hundred puzzle pieces, it doesn’t give me that same sense of accomplishment.
So, I decided that would be my weekend.
I watched a bunch of tutorials. I’ve got every season of The L Word ready to go. I still had plenty of yarn and I was determined to waffle the fuck out of it.
But I had to tap out.
The waffle stitch was kicking my ass. And after several failed attempts, I decided to call it.
If I’m going to learn this thing, it won’t be now.
And I think it’s because it takes too much concentration, which is something I have a really hard time with these days.
I want to kind of zone out and not think about it - just stitch the yarn over and over until it’s done. But the waffle stitch isn’t like that. You have to make turns every now and then - and I’m missing every turn because my mind is in a few different places at once.
Instead of a waffle, I end up with - well, with a bit of a mess.
Which is kind of a shame because I was really hoping to master this. I don’t want to be stuck making scarves - I want to make things that are so advanced people assume it was made by an Amish lady.
But instead, I’m learning that I could never hack it as an Amish lady. And not just because I like watching girls kissing on the TV.
Oh well.
Maybe I’ll get some gusto and pick it back up again sometime soon.
Maybe in the next stage of my life, I’ll be in a better place mentally to master all sorts of crafty skills.
Or maybe it’s just going to be hats and flat blankets forever.
And that’s fine, really. As long as I can pick up a few other practical hobbies, I can still feel pretty good about my simple crochet projects.
Because there’s nothing wrong with being a basic bitch who can only do a basic stitch.
Love,
Emma ❤
