Yea, I just got out of a crochet funk 3 weeks ago. Nothing was jiving. Started a million things and didn’t finish anything.

Symptoms of Crochet Funk:
I don’t like this yarn!
What the hell is going on with this yarn?
Where is the hook I just had?
This looks stupid!
Tangling ( screams in frustration)
Feels of guilt because not doing anything productive
Who the hell wrote this pattern anyway?
Gosh, people are so lazy when writing a pattern!
Counting stitches (:exploding_head:)
Can’t get my body comfortable
Keep getting interrupted
I just want my flow to come back!
Feeling overwhelmed with yarn all over the house
They want how much? For a gamble on a pattern? ( $10-15) (unfollows them)

Can you add any symptoms when you’re in a funk?

Too much, lol!

I tested this tiny turtle this morning.

I am making a highland cow for a future market.


(My family says the nostrils are too crooked)

And I am making a blackwork embroider piece of the goddess Hestia for a close family friend’s birthday.

Also, I don’t suppose you actually like Phineas & Ferb, do you? I know I’m too old now, being an adult and all, but I am still quite fond of it bc I grew up with it.

Throwing yarn across the room!
Cutting yarn even when you know you shouldn’t
Talking to/arguing with your yarn/pattern
Sitting on the crochet hook
Start a million patterns that you love at first but then tnink every single one is horrible

Actually, never watched the show. I’m 57, I’m in the Seseme Street, Muppets, The Munsters, Aadams Famy, My Favorite Martian, flintstones, BUGS BUNNY, Woody Woodpecker, I dream of Jeanie, ERA of the 70s.

Bluey and Sponge Bob are the only shows I know and watch. The rest of them are either too vulgar or lame.

Yes! I agree with ALL of those! Especially working in multiple things and declaring them works of garbage.

As a little little one, I lived for Sesame Street, the Looney Tunes, Popeye, Scooby Doo, and Tom and Jerry. And I still love the muppets, lol.

I know it’s nothing the same as the original, but have you watched any episodes of Wednesday on Netflix?

I forgot about Scooby Doo, loved the original Tom and Jerry.

I don’t have a TV or Netflix.:woman_shrugging:t3:

This is me :rofl: I was micro crocheting parakeets and kept losing that small hook :smiling_face_with_tear:

I like the show, though I don’t watch it often! My partner is watching the new season I think :thought_balloon:

Currently, I’m making my 3rd dragon for ExistingDuck (don’t want to tag people if they don’t want to be :sweat_smile:)
