Je n'ai pas pour habitude de m'étaler sur ce qui m'arrive mais cette fois je pense que c'est nécessaire.
Je traverse actuellement une période compliquée et pour la 1ère fois, je n'arrive quasiment pas à toucher mes crochets...
Les idées ne manquent pourtant pas, mais impossible de les faire naître ou de finir celles entamées.
Je fais quelques mailles par-ci par-là et c'est tout. Ma tête est trop préoccupée ailleurs. Habituellement, le crochet m'aide dans ces moments là mais cette fois, c'est l'inverse... Je n'y parviens pas...

On of the things I'm currently loving in learning how to crochet is...untangling!

Never be afraid of untangling.
If only life could always be so easy!

I’m just about finished! Both sides are complete and attached and all that’s left is trim and a quick wash before blocking it and packing it up to ship. #fiberarts #crochet #howlsmovingcastle #fanart

When I was a child/teenager, my mom taught me to knit and crochet. The crochet stuck with me, but the knitting did not. My only memory is of tight stitches being prevalent.

I decided to try knitting again and did a learn to knit class yesterday. It took me half an hour to work out a method of casting on that worked for me. 😁 I couldn't get my head around the first methods presented at all. I also learned the knit and purl stitch so I figure I should be okay with doing the garter, stocknette and ribbing if I just keep practicing since I didn't manage to complete the full program.

It was a bit stressful but also encouraging to consider being able to do this mystery craft after all these years.

Historical Knitting & Crochet question:

How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?

Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.

[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]

Hallo @genderbeitrag ,
ich habe deinen Podcast Stich'n Bitch gehört und ihr sprecht auch über Blocken.

Du oder Hannah erwähnt auch, dass ihr auf dem fertigen Produkt rumtrampelt 🧐

Ist das eine Alternative zum Blocken, oder eine Möglichkeit des Blockens, oder welchen Sinn hat das?

Ich bin am Häkeln, und bisher habe ich nicht geblockt. Ich mache gerade eine Stola aus dünner, flauschiger Wolle, und ich glaube eigentlich, es ist nicht nötig.

Also, trotzdem trampeln? 🤔

Die Vorlage für das Krokodil habe ich dem Buch "Meine frechen Häkelfreunde" von Khuc Cay entnommen.

I think yarn is sold in hanks because the standard process for hand-spun yarn is to make it into a big loop (with a tool called a Niddy-Noddy, don't ask me why it is called that), so that it can be soaked in water (kind of the yarn equivalent to blocking) and having the yarn like that enables the water to soak in evenly without tangling it all up. A hank is just that big loop twisted onto itself for compactness. Likewise, hand-dyed yarn also needs to be in that big loop in order for the dye to soak in evenly.

To then convert the hank into a ball is an additional step, which they often don't bother with. Also, the fact that the yarn is in a hank attests to its being hand-spun or hand-dyed "yes, we have the real handmade stuff here, look, it's in a hank!"
