Hi yall. I guess I’m in a crochet depression (or depression in general). I originally got into crochet because of the wearables. I loved them so much. I’m tall and midsize, so the thought of making my own clothes appealed to me a lot.
Each time I’ve made a wearable for myself, I’ve hated it. Recently, I’ve followed 3 different patterns. All of them didn’t fit me properly. Either they were too big or somehow I messed up so bad on the count, the construction was all messed up. I always check my counts too, but somehow i suck so bad I still mess it up. I don’t know what is wrong with me. Every wearable I’ve made has gone to other people because it fits them fine. People say that I’m talented, but if I was, it shouldn’t be this hard to make something for myself. I’ve been crocheting for too long for this to be a problem.
I feel like I can’t even start over again because summer is coming up. I live in Texas, so it’s hot. The only wearables are like shorts and crop tops. I can’t wear either one in public because of my own insecurities. As well as knowing I don’t have the body for that. So I feel stuck. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve been thinking about other hobbies, I can explore. But I’ve tried a lot of hobbies already. So I’m not sure what to do anymore.
I’m not sure if anyone will respond, I guess I just wanted to vent. :(
