Hi friends, Lorene here. Today I want to talk to

Hi friends, Lorene here. Today I want to talk to you a little bit about motivation; specifically crochet motivation.

We all have the half finished wip, or 10, in the time out corner. No judgement.

The reasons may be different for all of us, but the results are the same.

Either we've hit a roadblock, or gotten overwhelmed, or it's not fitting correctly... the list can go on and on. But because as designers we have been there before, we have tried to do everything we can to help you avoid it.

One of the biggest motivations we see is sharing your progress and work with other people, and having those people be supportive and encouraging. That is the reason we host our seasonal crochet a longs.

Every season we host a new CAL with all 7 designs in the previous issue. Each designer is there to answer questions and help in any way we can. If course the companion guides that come with each issue are super helpful too. The Custom Fit Guide and the Gauge Matters Guide have all the tools you'll need to successfully make your garment.

The support and accountability in our fb group, Crochet Foundry Makes is super helpful too.

If you haven't already there is still time to join the #crochetfoundry Winter CAL. All you need is the Winter issue. Right now you can save 20% off a year subscription to #crochetfoundrymagazine with promo code #cfwintercal, or you can save 10% off just the winter issue with promo code cfwinter10. Link in bio.

Hope to see you soon.

Let's chat #motivationmonday
Is there something you've always wanted to crochet but you've been afraid to? What is something that you haven't tried to crochet yet?

Here at Crochet Foundry, we want to inspire you to jump into garments. And hey, we've been there, they used to feel intimidating to us too.

The current winter issues have companion crochet videos to help you through the important steps. We've also got an amazing group of CF Makers who give words of encouragement and motivation.

You can crochet this, we can help. (kinda like Home Depot for the crochet world 😆)

Feeling motivated yet?

Briana @brianakdesigns here wishing you all the Mo

Briana @brianakdesigns here wishing you all the Monday vibes! And I'm also wondering, how many crochet hooks do you own? Feel free to estimate, I'm not going to make you do extra work on a Monday lol.

When it comes to being a new crocheter I wish I had tried more hooks. Over the years I've learned there is not a one size fits all hook. Nor is there one type of hook for every single project.

For this reason, I'm so happy I found @furlscrochet. The choices and styles of hooks help me get my projects done with a smile on my face. I tend to favor the streamline series, but I switch between hooks for different projects. Like right now I'm using a Candy Shop Hook. Learning I didn't have to stick to one style was a game-changer. However, stick to one hook per project and don't change hooks mid-project, it often changes the gauge and groove.

Get hooked up with a Furls Crochet Hook if you don't have one yet. And come on over to our Crochet Foundry Makes Group this coming Friday for another fun live chat. Our winter crochet along is in full action and it's not too late to jump in!

And there might just be an awesome giveaway 😉

Briana here to tell you something I want you to know. If I could shout this from a mountain 🏔 that would be great.

Crochet is NOT a race.

I had such a wonderful time on Friday going live in our Crochet Foundry Makes group with @mjsoffthehook and we had a wonderful crocheter say she was worried she wouldn't get her Winter CAL done in time.

Here's wonderful news. There is no deadline. When it comes to crochet it's not about how fast you craft. It's more important to enjoy the craft than make yourself miserable to meet a deadline or feel like you are less than because you see others complete things before you.

We started the Crochet Foundry Makes group to create an environment that's supportive. We will always cheer you on and we welcome posts from all issues no matter the season. It's about you and your work at your pace. There is no right or wrong when it comes to timing. All that matters is we crochet and have fun together. 🥰

This is the Macchiato Sweater crocheted by my middle sister and modeled by my baby sister. You can find this pattern in our Fall Issue.
