9 Things You'll Know If You Crochet

1. You probably learned a basic stitch from a grandmother or aunt and fell in love


My aunt taught me the half-double crochet stitch when I was little, then I got a book on crocheting for Christmas. I guess you could say I was "hooked" ever since!

2. You have at least a dozen hooks


You either inherited them from a family member or accumulated them yourself.

3. You have a "favorite" hook...


...or maybe you don't because they're all your babies.

4. You never buy yarn without a coupon


When you need five skeins of Red Heart yarn for an afghan, stuff can get expensive.

5. You can't watch TV without working on a project


You just feel incomplete when you're not using your spare time for crocheting.

6. You have tons of balls of scrap yarn


Bonus points if you crocheted them into a scrap scarf or blanket.

7. Sometimes you feel like a grandma...


...but you secretly love it. Tea, anyone?

8. You considered selling your creations at a local craft fair or starting an Etsy shop


"Yes, Mom, people will DEFINITLEY want to buy my infinity scarves and baby blankets!"

but the most important thing all crocheters know is...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
