Spider — spider — spiderman

Hi there!
Hope you are all staying safe 😷.

My family is staying home as most of you. My LO is bored and at his young age, he can’t really comprehend why we are not allowed to go out and meet friends for play dates. He is definitely happy about the fact that there is no school for now but mommy is not 😌.
I had to find a way to get my mind off all the crazy stuff going around us these days and nothing can do this better than starting a new crochet project 🧶.

A while ago I bought Bernat® premium worsted yarn in coral blue and red based on my boy’s request to have a Spiderman-themed blanket. They have been sitting in my stash for sometime. So I decided to go on Ravelry and check some easy patterns. 
I am not a big fan of working with dc stitches only.. it’s not my favorite stitch. But with all the stress we are going through, I didn’t want a pattern where I have to go check and read each row to move on. I was looking for something easy to memorize and can work it on when I’m half asleep at the end of the day.

I came across a superhero dream catcher afghan free pattern and decided to give it a try.
I like how this is coming altogether. I enjoy working with Bernat® yarn; soft texture and reasonable price which is an important point to consider when working on big projects. 



My current issue now is that I had bought a skein of each color and the pattern calls for 2 of each. I am done with the blue one and currently working the last couple of rows in red till I get more yarn. Now the question is; when will I be able to get out and buy more yarn? 

Let’s pray this situation comes to an end soon. And I can’t leave without sending kudos to all the physicians, nurses, paramedics, researchers and grocery store employees who are out there working in such circumstances.

Take care, stay calm and crochet on!

Hello There!

Hi and welcome.
Happy to see you here.

I am Erini (obviously, from the name 😎) and I am here to share with you all about my crochet passion. I learned crochet basics at a very young age. My mom, aunt and teachers had taught me the basic stitches. Then my aunt gave me a book with more versatile and advanced stuff. 




I taught myself crochet abbreviations (that was decades before YouTube and Google) and did I mention that the book was in Arabic? That’s my mother tongue, but I was in an English school so reading the abbreviations in Arabic was a bit of a challenge, I have to admit, but I took it and was happy with my progress at that time.Fast forward, internet and digital era (thankfully) where you get to learn from people all over the globe at the comfort of your home. I started learning the terms in English, watched videos, read books, listened to podcasts, anything that is crochet related, I’m definitely in and now I can read patterns and diagrams.
I like to challenge myself with advanced patterns every now and then, but always happy to work on beginner/intermediate projects. It’s all about the journey, not the destination, right? 

So I hope you enjoy your stay and keep coming back ðŸ˜Š
