What are the important features of this task?
I learned how to crochet by myself from a magazine, where it was described how to start crocheting step by step and what I needed to do it. It was 15 years ago.
To do this task I need a crochet-hook, a good quality thread and patterns. A very important feature is that I crochet for pleasure, not for sale; it’s my hobby. Usually, when I crochet I sit in the armchair, listen to music or watch TV and feel relaxed. It’s very important for me that all curtains and tablecloths which I make I use to decorate my flat.
Which features are less important and why?
A less important feature is a place where I crochet. I can do this at home, on a beach, traveling by train etc. I just need free time, a little space and of course all necessary tools and materials.
What is difficult about this task?
Counting stitches is a very difficult task. When crocheting I have to be careful. Sometimes when I drop a stitch and discover this later, I have to unstitch all my needlework, which makes me lose my temper.
What’s a can’t-do-without feature?
A pattern is a can’t-do-without feature for me. I never draw patterns from memory. I always use those I find in professional magazines, receive from colleagues, or print from the Internet. I have a big collection of patterns, most of which I bought.
