Stitch-Stirring

Posted by Deb on Oct 08 2007 | Blogging, Crochet

I haven’t done one of these before, but no time like the present, right? This week’s prompt:

If someone asked, “Why do you do it? Why in the world do you crochet?”, would you give them a long response or a quick and easy one? How would you reply?

Very simple: I can’t not.

Incidentally, this is how I always wanted to feel about writing, but never did. I don’t suppose I should be shocked that the choice of medium isn’t always so much a choice, but I am. And I really *am* shocked that after years and years of crocheting on and off, that this time when I picked up the hook something odd happened and a passion was born. I have a fluency with crochet that I simply didn’t have a couple of years ago, and I have no idea what changed in the meantime. It just…happened. And I can’t wait until I get more time to play around and explore what I can do now that I’m seeing it in a more expansive way.

  1. Welcome to the SS prompt-world!

    Something interesting you said: this is how I always wanted to feel about writing, but never did. I hadn’t ever thought about that before, but I feel very similiar to that thought. I love to write, but I love to crochet more and would rather spend my time with a hook than a pen.

  2. Wow. This sure packs a punch, for such a short post.

    I can’t leave a Trackback, so I just wanted to drop a courtesy comment to let you know I talked about this post over on my blog. http://www.arraskysong.com/middle/2007/10/which_crafts.html
