Over the break, I made a lot of progress on my baby blanket project. This week I focussed more on online tools to keep me motivated rather than learning new things, partly because I wanted to continue working on my blanket instead of doing something new and partly because I needed some external motivation. For motivation, social media really helped me. Seeing other people being able to create things and have fun with things they create was really inspirational. Instagram, TikTok and Facebook were my main sources for this. All around these apps have a lot of good creators on them to help motivate people getting into the crafts. Some creators/pages I found most inspiring were CindysCrochet on TikTok, @free_crochet_patterns on Instagram and -The Canadian Crocheters- group on Facebook. These all helped keep me motivated in one way or another and made me excited to crochet every day! This week I did a lot of crochet work! I completed the base of all of my squares for my baby blanket and completed the pig square features. I also completed the other baby blanket I was working on in the previous post, made and stitched together a pillow, made this leafy headphone accessory and made a small whale plushie on my own! This week was very productive for me and I did not feel drained of crochet at any point. I also think these creators inspired me to do more with my crochet hook than I was doing previously, as I had more time. This made me more excited to get back to my projects instead of getting tired of them!
