Life Lessons I learnt from Crocheting

I have been crocheting since 2011, and I can assure you - it has made me a better person. Here are some life lessons I've learnt from crocheting...

#1 Every day is like a new project, each one is different.

#2 You cannot compare them. Sometimes you may find an “easy” pattern difficult and an “expert” pattern to be very easy. 

#3 It’s okay to make mistakes

#4 Once you realize you’ve made a mistake, correct it ASAP

#5 Some mistakes CAN be rectified, but they require you to go back a few steps. It’s never too late to go back and make corrections

#6 Some mistakes, only you know you’ve made them. What looks like a mess to you, is gorgeous to someone else’s eyes. 

#7 Sometimes you can make a mistake with something you’ve been doing for ages. These things happen. Don’t kill yourself about it. Be more careful next time

#8 Some mistakes CANNOT be rectified. Sometimes it’s “too late” to correct a mistake. Stop cringing over it. Move on. They are lessons, they are memories. When you look back on these “experiences” you realize they were part of your learning curve. 

#9 Don’t be content with what you know. Try something you’ve never done before. There’s always scope to learn more. Step out of your comfort zone - think outside the box.

#10 Don't give up. Just because it became a disaster the first time, it doesn't mean it's impossible. Try again, be patient.
