Well, the "boredom buster" is busted. I got frustrated with the way it was turning out and scrapped it. The choker became waaaay too ruffly. I should just stick to patterns. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway I got BORED with the boredom buster and trying to make it look the way I wanted to.
So much for that.
Starting:
I must have ADHD or ADD or ADWFI (Almost Done, Won't Finish It). I can't seem to stay on one project until it's done and if I finish any project, it's a miracle and all the Angels in Heaven sing. I'm the worst at finishing a crochet project and I have no idea why. Maybe I just get bored with what I'm working on.
I think if I stopped my obssesive pattern browsing I could focus on the work at hand. When I see something while pattern browsing that looks fun and interesting to make I download the pattern for it, or save it to my "Read It Later" bookmarks, or to my Favorites on Ravelry (where I have over three hundred favorites stored already).
Yesterday I put down the bag I am trying to design from stitch patterns I found in an old "howto" book. I also put aside the Elegant Tissue Cover I'm making (and almost done with!) and I picked up a ball of black crochet thread and a size 7 hook.
Hmmm... I started crocheting a choker and added some pretty pink leaf thingys as I went along. It's turning out quite beautiful for something random like this. I never really made anything without a pattern and I'm finding it's quite fun to crochet on my own free will and imagination.
Here's a photo of the choker, in progress of course.
It'll get put on the shelf with the rest of the projects I've started but for now it's a great boredom buster. It's fast and easy and fun. For now. Until I get bored with this one. Then what??? ack. I'll have to pick up one of the other projects I'm working on and try to finish ONE of them.
The Angels in Heaven are not holding their breath, waiting to sing, believe me.
If I do finish this super easy choker I'll post the pattern for it, granted I can remember what I did. lol.
