BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet Do you ever get bored with your crochet ?

I never get bored with it but I do get sort of flustered....you know the talking to myself thing. Do I start the purse first, what can I make with that yarn, I should really make a sweater etc. etc.

I got bored with a baby afghan I was working on and unraveled it and started on something else which was a lot more interesting. It is hard right now because we don't know if the baby is a boy or girl so I have to stay with neutral patterns and colors. I find that a little boring. If its a girl I'll make her a fantastic pineapple afghan, if it is a boy then I'll make him some really cute sweaters with airplane buttons, ect.
As far as getting bored with crochet in general, I don't.

i have it gets boring if you do the same old thing over and over i have a afghan that is little granny shares that i work on to get ride of spare yarn and after the first hunred or so haveing to stop and weave in the ends and start a new one get old and i keep thinking I still have to put it together AHHHHHHHH!!! what are you working on thats boring you?

The older I get, it seems like I prefer the less complicated patterns! I go for interesting yarn colors and textures instead. Yarns excite me!

It's hard deciding what to make next. I am always working on something!

I knit too, so I switch from crocheting to knitting. (Some yarns just don't crochet well.) Knitting uses less yarn than crocheting.

i never have a hard time deciding what to make next, 'cause i ALWAYS have a looooong list of "i want to make that someday". Soon as I finish this purse I'm working on, the next project is either going to be an entrelac or a scrumbled afghan.

I usually have at least three projects going at the same time. If I get stuck on something or lose interest, I switch to something else.

I really don't get bored just blocked where I want to do something else like read.LOL

WOW, those are some very different answers. I really love to read about how everyone does their crocheting priorities, hehehehehe. I do not ever start more than one crochet project BUT I do on a regular basis have:
1 crochet project
1 knit project
1 sewing project

So I guess that would probably qualify for having more than one project going, hehehehe.

i get that too. i want to crochet,work on the computer, read, all at the same time it frusrating <img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/beamedup.gif" alt="" />

hahahahaha, well I have resorted to reading 5 days a week, about 10 to 30 minutes per day. When I go to pick up my son at the bus stop, I take the book with me.
